CLEANING AND SERVICING (Cont.)

Only limited cleaning will be required under normal

use of the vent-free gas log set.

TO CLEAN THE LOG SET

1. Remove the logs. Use a vacuum cleaner to

remove loose particles from all surfaces of the

logs. Do not use cleaning ﬂ uids to clean the log

or any other part of the log set.

2. Dust the grate, the base of the assembly and the

burner.

3. Replace the logs as instructed in the LOG

PLACEMENT section of 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 holes may require some

cleaning. If this happens, it is preferable to contact

the nearest dealer to get the vent-free gas log set

serviced.

Do not remove rating plate and/or warning tags.

These labels are an integral safety and identiﬁ cation

component of this appliance.

During periods of heavy use, inspect the vent-free gas

log set frequently for evidence of sooting. If sooting

is present, discontinue use until the source of sooting

is corrected.

CLEANING THE ODS PILOT

Periodic cleaning and maintenance of the vent-free gas log set is recommended to ensure that the log set

operates properly. Cleaning of the ODS pilot system is an important part of the maintenance program. This

ODS pilot cleaning procedure must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician familiar

with the speciﬁ c characteristics of the log set.

1. Turn the vent-free gas log set to the OFF position and allow it to cool. Inspect the ODS pilot area (see

Fig.

20-1) for any visual contamination or debris (usually lint, hair, spider webs, or small insects). Lightly

brush off all external surfaces while vacuuming loosened debris from the ODS pilot opening. Be careful

not to brush any foreign material into the ODS pilot opening.

2. Clean out both air intake openings (see Fig.

20-2) by lightly brushing around the openings while

vacuuming.

Note: It is very important that the air intake openings be kept clear of debris. Should the openings become

blocked, the ODS pilot system will not operate properly.

3. Light the ODS pilot according to the relevant LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS page. Periodically verify the ODS

pilot ﬂ ame appears as shown in the CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE section.
