CLEANING AND SERVICING

Note: Regular cleaning and servicing will be necessary to ensure proper pilot operation and proper burn

characteristics.

Always shut off the gas to the appliance while performing service work.

Allow the appliance to cool before servicing.

Installation, service, and repair must be done by an NFI Certiﬁ ed or other qualiﬁ ed professional

service technician. The appliance MUST be inspected before use, and cleaned at least annually

to prevent burner shutdown, sooting, odors, etc. by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician. It

must be checked for clean burning operation and proper pilot appearance, with the correct tools to

service this unit. More frequent cleaning may be required. Excessive lint can build up on this unit from

carpeting, bedding material, pet hairs, or other particles in the air. It is imperative that all control components

and compartments, burner(s), air shutters, and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean

and free of all obstructions.

In addition, a periodic examination and cleaning (anually) of the venting system and the solid-fuel-burning

ﬁ replace should be conducted by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician.

Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating this appliance.

TO CLEAN THE BURNER SYSTEM

1. Remove the log set and embers. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from all surfaces of

the burner log set. Do not use cleaning ﬂ uids.

2. Dust the grate, the assembly, and the burners. Using a compressed

air duster (commonly available at computer, electronic, or ofﬁ ce

supply stores); blow through all of the burner ports, and the pilot

assembly area.

3. Replace batteries as needed.

4. Reinstall the log set and embers as instructed in this manual.

If, after a period of use, the ﬂ ames start to exhibit unusual shapes and

behavior, or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, the burner ports may

require some cleaning. If this happens, it is preferable to contact the

nearest dealer to get the appliance serviced.

Do not remove the rating plates or the warning tags. These are an integral safety and identiﬁ cation

component of this appliance.

We recommend following these instructions at the beginning of each ﬁ replace season and as needed

throughout the year, depending on your usage pattern and the environmental conditions in your

home. More frequent cleaning and maintenance may be necessary when burning propane gas than

with natural gas.

Observe the ﬂ ames. The main burner ﬂ ames should be blue

at the base and a combination of blue/yellow at the body and

at the tips. They should be approximately 5-8" above the logs,

with the center ﬂ ame being the tallest. The ember ﬂ ames

should be

/4" to 5" above the embers(See 13-2 for example.)
