CLEANING AND SERVICING

Note: Servicing may be necessary to ensure proper operation and 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 should be examined before use, and must be inspected at least annually to

prevent burner shutdown, sooting, odors, etc. It must be checked for clean burning operation with the

correct tools to service this unit. More frequent servicing may be required. It is imperative that all components

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

obstructions (as applicable).

In addition, a periodic examination and cleaning of the solid-fuel-burning ﬁ replace venting system 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.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

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 may require cleaning or servicing. If this happens, it is recommended 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.
