INSPECTING bURNERS
Continued
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating.
Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit
and will vary depending on installation type and
weather conditions.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly,
the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger-
ous. Inspect the 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 Ap-
pliance, page 28)
• see Troubleshooting, page 33

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace
and let cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep con-
trol 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 abra-
sive cleaners as this may damage
glass. Use a nonabrasive house-
hold 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
cleaner 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 Remov-
ing/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.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses while handling
or removing broken glass. Do
not remove if glass is hot. Keep
children and pets away from
glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass
door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page
25). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
