Remote Control Receiver Replacement; Cleaning And Servicing - Monessen Hearth VWF30 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

REMOTE CONTROL RECEIVER REPLACEMENT

The remote control receiver and batteries are very sensitive to heat. Exposure to high temperatures can cause the receiver
to malfunction and shorten the life of the batteries. If your fireplace does NOT have a restrictive barrier (see page 6), such
as glass doors, it is recommended that the remote receiver be affixed to the right hand side of the heat shield or placed in
the front, right corner of the fireplace. If your fireplace has a restrictive barrier, it is recommended that the remote receiver
be placed outside of the fireplace.

CLEANING AND SERVICING

The log set should be cleaned at least once a year for maximum performance.
Turn gas supply off. Allow unit to cool. Remove logs, handling carefully by holding gently at each end. Gloves are recom-
mended when handling the log to prevent skin irritation from ceramic fibers. If skin becomes irritated, wash gently with soap
and water. Refer to manual for correct log placement. Brush each log gently with a soft bristle brush. This will remove soot
that has built up on the log set. DO NOT USE LIQUID SOOT REMOVER ON LOGS!
To refurbish the grate, remove grate and take it outside. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove any discoloration to the
grate. Paint grate with high temperature black paint (barbecue paint). Reinstall grate after paint dries.
If embers (rock wool) have turned a rust color and become brittle, remove old embers (rock wool) from log set. Replace with
new rock wool. Rock wool can be purchased from you local dealer. See log placement section for placement of embers.
