CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Regularly:
 Frequent cleaning of the ceramic glass is required. Archgard recommends using a good
quality “gas fireplace” glass cleaner that is available at any hearth retail location. DO NOT
CLEAN WHILE HOT.
 Clean and remove any lint accumulations or debris from the grills and in any combustion
and convection air passage ways.
 Keep the appliance area free from combustible materials, such as paper, wood, clothing,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
 Visually check the height and color of the burner and pilot flames.
Every 2 to 3 months:
 Remove the glass door and clean the inside of the glass with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and
water or a suitable, mild, non-abrasive cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN WHILE HOT.
 Carefully remove the logs and gently brush off any loose carbon deposits. This job is best
done outside the house, wearing a dust mask.The logs are very fragile, take care not to
break them. Do not wash logs with any liquid. While the logs are removed, check that all
burner openings are not obstructed and it is recommended you use a vacuum cleaner to
clean off any dust or lint.
 After cleaning, the logs must be replaced as per the instructions in this manual.
Once a year, have a qualified service technician:
 Completely inspect the appliance and the venting system, if the vent pipe or seal is found to
be defective, replace and or reseal (follow the instructions found in the installation section)
 Clean and remove any lint accumulations or debris in the firebox, on the burners, on the
pilot, at the primary air opening, on the convection air blower and in any combustion and
convection air passage ways.
 Check the safety system of the gas valve and the appliance.
