Maintaining Your Fireplace's Appearance
! Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional plated surface may become etched in place if they are not wiped clean prior
to turning the heater on. Clean plated surfaces with denatured alcohol and a soft cloth (make sure the fireplace is cool).
Other cleaners may leave a film that may become etched into the plated surface.
• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). To remove the glass, follow the instructions on page
29.
Yearly Service Procedure
! Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. The
following procedures must 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 38).
Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions included with face) and glass (see page 29).
3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 31). 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 and inspect the following:
• Check the burner for damage.
• Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no damage.
• If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the burner holes.
Make sure the burners
are not warped or
damaged.
Check the walls and ceiling of the firebox for
deterioration.
Before Disassembly: Check the pilot flame.
It should touch the thermopile and
thermocouple.

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 the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If any
damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts. Clean out the
area near the blower (behind the gas control valve).
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 Inspect the glass. If damage is found, replace the glass (with frame) with Travis Industries glass assembly (glass
installation is on 29).
9 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found
near the vent termination.
1 0 Inspect the vent sections. If any damage or dis-connection has occurred, contact your dealer for service.
