„

A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.

„

An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door

gaskets to ensure a proper seal.

„

An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.

„

An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot flame.

For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied

on the gas valve for a test gauge connection

„

Inspection of all equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.

„

For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure

of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.

„

For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure

of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.

„

Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible

materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapours

and liquids.

„

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the

appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any

gas control which has been under water.

„

Inspection of glass doors and screen for damage and proper

installation.

Cleaning

When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoke and a

visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is

the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.

„

Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which

is a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible.

Film can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on

Page 20. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with nonabrasive

glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.

„

Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",

leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion

chamber walls. This can easily be removed from the chamber

walls using normal household products.

„

Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control

compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.

until the bubbling stops completely.

Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently

etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or

White off.
