CLEANING THE ODS PILOT
Periodic cleaning and maintenance of the unvented 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 service technician familiar with the
specifi c characteristics of the log set.
1. Turn the unvented gas log set to the OFF position and allow it to cool. Inspect the ODS pilot area
(see Fig. 24-1) 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. 24-2) 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 section. The ODS pilot fl ame
should appear as shown in the CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE section.
Note: Only limited cleaning will be required under
normal use of the unvented gas log set.
CLEANING THE LOG SET
WARNING
Allow the log set to cool before cleaning or
servicing.
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 logs
or any other part of the log set.
2. Dust the grate, the base of the assembly, and the
burners. Vacuum any loose particles or lint from
the base and around the ODS pilot.
3. Replace the logs as instructed in the GLOWING
EMBERS and LOG PLACEMENT sections 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 have the unvented 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 unvented gas
log set frequently for evidence of sooting. If sooting
is present, discontinue use until the source of sooting
is corrected.
