CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
When lit for the first time, the appliance may
emit a slight odor for about 16 to 24 hours. This
is normal and is due to “curing” of logs and
“burn in” of internal paints and lubricants used
in manufacturing.
Keep compartments, logs, burners and area sur-
rounding logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at
least twice a year. Temporary removal of log set
may ease cleaning of burner and pilot assembly.
In cleaning, take care not to alter pilot or burner
location. Be sure appliance is cool before each
maintenance session.
WARNING: Installation and
repair should be done by a quali-
fied service person. The appli-
ance should be inspected before
each use and at least annually
by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding mate-
rial, pet hair, etc. It is imperative
that the control compartments,
burners and circulating air sys-
tem be kept clean.
WARNING: The logs can be
hot. Handle only when cool.
WARNING: Turn off gas and
electrical power before servic-
ing appliance. Any safety screen
or guard removed for servicing
must be replaced prior to oper-
ating the appliance.
WARNING: Make certain
that wires and gas lines are not
touching underside of firebox.
WARNING: Do not abuse,
strike or slam glass doors.
WARNING: Do not operate
appliance with panel(s) and
glass removed, cracked or bro-
ken. Replacement of panel(s)
should be done by a licensed and
qualified service person.
CAUTION: If glass breaks,
be cautions of fragments on
floor. Keep children away from
area. Do not run unit. Use proper
safety gloves to remove broken
glass. Discard glass safely. A
glass door kit can be ordered
through your local distributor.
Do not substitute other material
for glass.
Do not use abrasive liquids or cleaners for cleaning
glass doors and trims. Use any household glass
cleaner. Do not clean doors when hot. Allow ap-
