CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
VENT SYSTEM
The fireplace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified field service
person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the airflow. Inspect
entire venting system to ensure proper function.
LOGS
Leave logs installed in the fireplace for cleaning. Vacuum surface of the logs with a brush attachment. If logs must be removed
for cleaning, handle carefully by holding gently at each end. Gloves are recommended to prevent skin irritation from ceramic
fibers. If skin becomes irritated, wash gently with soap and water. Vacuum surface of logs with brush attachment or brush
logs with a soft bristle brush (i.e. clean, dry paintbrush). To place logs back in the fireplace, see “Log Placement” found in
the Final Installation section.
NOTE: Do not use cleaning fluid to clean logs.
ROCK WOOL
Replace or add rock wool as required following installation instructions in the Final Installation section of this manual.
