MAINTENANCE
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensa-
tion, such as water droplets forming in the
inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the
joints, Continuous condensation can cause
corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may
be caused by having excessive lateral runs,
too many elbows, and exterior portions of the
system being exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections
or fi ttings have been disturbed, and conse-
quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may cre-
ate carbon build-up and will severely
alter the unit's performance which is
not covered under warranty.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove
the Top Louver or Grill.
2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log Set,
Grate and Burner Assembly (see page
26).
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Discon-
nect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
4) Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly
and pull up far enough to be able to loosen
the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16"
wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile,
use caution when pulling it up.
5) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the
unit.
6) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.

General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect

areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These com-
ponents should be replaced immediately.
