INSPECTING bURNERS

Continued

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or float-
ing. Flame patterns will be different from unit
to unit and will vary depending on installation
type and weather conditions.
If vent configuration is installed incorrectly,
flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger-
ous. Inspect flames after installation to ensure
proper installation and performance.
Figure 50 shows a typical flame pattern.
If burner flame pattern differs from that de-
scribed:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to

Appliance, page 28)

• see Troubleshooting, page 33

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep

control areas, burners and

circulating air passageways of

fireplace clean. Inspect these

areas of fireplace before each

use. Have fireplace inspected

yearly by a qualified service

person. Fireplace may need

more frequent cleaning due to

excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass

door panel with care. Do not

strike, slam or otherwise abuse

glass. Do not operate fireplace

with the glass door unlatched,

removed, cracked or broken.

WARNING: Do not use

abrasive cleaners as this may

damage glass. Use a nonabra-

sive household glass cleaner to

clean glass. Do not clean glass

when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During
start-up it is normal for condensation to form
on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. During initial start-up a slight film may
form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a
non-ammonia, nonabrasive household clean-
er and warm water after the first two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two
or three times during each heating season,
depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass
Door
, page 25 of this manual when removing
glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts sup-

plied by the manufacturer should

be used when replacing broken

or damaged glass door panel

(see Replacement Parts, page

37). This glass door panel is

a complete unit. No substitute

materials may be used.
