The following procedures will help ensure that your
stove continues to perform safely and efficiently.
Firebox Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to correct operation of the heater.
The log set, burner, valve controls and air circulation
areas must all be kept free of dust and unobstructed by
debris. Inspect these areas before each use and clean
whenever accumulation is evident. Follow the simple
procedure outlined below.
Frequent cleaning may be necessary in living
environments subject to excessive carpet lint or pet
hair. For example, if you live with a dog that sheds
continuously, you will need to inspect the burner area
frequently and clean it as often as the accumulation
requires. In extreme conditions, it may be necessary to
clean the burner and log set monthly or bi-weekly.
This appliance should be inspected and thor-
oughly cleaned annually by a qualified gas techni-
cian.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool com-
pletely before cleaning.
2. Remove the safety screen. (Fig. 30)
3. Carefully inspect the log set for damage. Contact
your local dealer if any damage is evident. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH A DAMAGED LOG
SET.
4. Use a soft-bristled brush vacuum attachment to
sweep dust or debris from the log set, pilot and
burner. Use care as the log set is fragile. Replace
log set according to instructions on pages 11 - 12.
5. Replace the screen and Front Plate. DO NOT
OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE SAFETY
SCREEN REMOVED.
Care of Cast Iron

painted surfaces looking new.
Porcelain enamel surfaces shoul be cleaned with a soft
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If
necessary, use only a cleaning agent formulated
specifically for use on porcelain enamel surfaces.
WARNING
Turn the burner Pilot OFF before applying
paint. NEVER paint pilot or around pilot area.
