MAINTENANCE
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fi ttings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports
such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for
rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the logs.
(The pilot light generates enough heat to burn
someone.) If for any reason a log should need
replacement, you must use the proper replacement
log. The position of these logs must be as shown
in the diagrams under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will severely alter
the unit's performance which is not
covered under warranty.
THERMOPILE /
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove
the Top Louver or Grill.
2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log Set,
Grate and Burner Assembly (see the "Log
Installation" & "Glass Door Removal" sections).
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect
thermopile by loosening 2 screws marked TP
on the valve.
4) Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly
and pull up far enough to be able to loosen
the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16"
wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile,
use caution when pulling it up.
5) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the unit.
6) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
