Motor and Blower for Fan Kit (optional)
This motor has been factory oiled and under normal
operating conditions should not require oiling.
WARNING: Ensure the power is turned off to
the fireplace before servicing.
Cleaning
This unit should be cleaned and serviced by a Qualified
Gas Technician at least annually. More frequent clean-
ing may be necessary if pet hair accumulates, dust and
lint are present, or if the unit is located in a high traffic
area. A Qualified Agency is defined in the Gas Code.
Cleaning should include burner tubes, orifice/injectors
(refer to section B.3 National Fuel Gas Code) and logs.
It is recommended that any sediment traps in the gas
line be emptied and cleaned at this time. (Refer to Sec-
tion 3.7.2 National Fuel Gas Code)
Burner, Firebox and Logs
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or
other parts of the unit, be sure to read the sec-
tion on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each
year and after long periods of non-use. All cleaning
should be carried out when the appliance is cold.
Cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the
front grate or the control knob panel may be required
occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the
logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if
the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes
may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your near-
est dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing
all the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage
them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each
end.
Maintenance
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burn-
er area, use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust
and loose particles from the base, logs and from around
the burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the
ceramic fibers that compose the logs from pricking
your skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap
and water. Use extreme caution in cleaning around the
pilot . The spark igniter should not be moved or altered
from the original factory setting. The burner should be
placed back into its original locked and secure position
after cleaning and servicing(proper location of burners
are critical). NOTE: All replacements and repairs should
be performed by a qualified technician (contact your
nearest dealer). After cleaning and/or repairs, follow
instructions for positioning of logs as illustrated on Page
22.
Glass
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing startup it is normal for condensation to form on the
glass and cause dirt, lint, etc., to adhere to the inner
surface of the glass. There also will be a film deposited
on the glass during the initial use of the fireplace due
to initial curing of the paint. It is recommended that the
glass be cleaned with a non-abrasive household clean-
er and warm water. Be sure to rinse and dry the glass
well as not to leave any marks. It may be necessary to
clean the glass two to three times a season depending
on use of the fireplace.
