Hotshot Gas Fireplace Insert
XG0511 - 150203
Maintenance
CAUTIONS
 Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot
and main burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with
a vacuum.
 Doors and logs can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
General
 Have the fireplace installation inspected yearly, including a visual
check of the insert and vent system, the burner and the pilot flame.
For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied on
the gas valve for a test gauge connection. See Figure 13.
 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 pres-
sure 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. Imme-
diately 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.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etch-
ing may cause premature glass failure.
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking 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, see Figure 11a - 11b.
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", leav-
ing a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion cham-
ber walls. This can easily be removed using normal household
products.
 Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control com-
partment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
 The logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove
dirt, dust and other contaminates. If the logs shift during cleaning,
refer to Figures 12a - 12c for proper positioning.
