TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRI-
CAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE
STOVE!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This insert and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service per-
son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours
and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assem-
bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut-
ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by
vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean
out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not
burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple on one leg and reaches toward
the burner on the other leg.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely
on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned
on. A 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If
ignition takes longer, consult your Continental dealer/dis-
tributor.
7. Check that the door gasketing is not broken or miss-
ing. Replace if necessary.
8. Lift the door from its hinges to clean hinge pins and
lubricate using high-temp dry graphite as necessary. Re-
place.
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures that the hinges expe-
rience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause the
hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under wa-
ter.
