Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped
clean prior to turning the fireplace on. Clean the gold with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (with the fireplace
cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the gold.
Yearly Service Procedure
! Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1 Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the
thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2 Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on
page 34). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and
glass (see page 27).
3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 28). If severely deteriorated, replace.
Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting
is found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4 Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:
• Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
• Make sure the burner assembly is not warped or damaged.
• Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the burner holes.
Make sure the
burner is not
warped or
damaged.
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for
deterioration.
Thermopile
Pilot Hood
Thermocouple
Before Disassembly -
Check the pilot flame. It
should touch the
thermocouple and
thermopile.
5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket along the
perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or
replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.
6 Inspect behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and gas lines. If damage is
found, discontinue use and contact dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.
7 Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the
firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower
operation.
8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is
found near the vent termination.
