Maintenance
General
Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The
inspection must include, but is not limited to, the following:
• A visual check of the entire vent system and
termination, where accessible.
• An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the
door gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
• An inspection of the burner/pilot assembly, vent run,
and primary air openings.
• An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and
pilot flame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold
pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve for a test
gauge connection.
• Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats,
remote control lights, etc.
■ For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum
inlet pressure of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of
3.5" W.C.
■ For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum
inlet pressure of 11" W.C. and a manifold pressure
of 10" W.C.
■ Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of
combustible materials, as well as gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Do not use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has
been under water.
Inspection of glass doors and screen for damage

Maintenance
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some
smoke and a visible film may be left on the glass. This is
a normal condition, and is the result of curing of protective
coatings on new metal.
■ Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any
film (which is a normal by-product of combustion)
which may be visible. Film can easily be removed by
removing the door, as shown on Page 24. Handle the
door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass
cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel
Kem.
■ Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off
gas", leaving a visual deposit of a white substance
on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be
removed from the chamber walls using normal
household products.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner to keep the control compartment,
burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Pilot Burner Adjustment.
1. Locate Pilot Adjustment Screw. (See figure 28)
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame as
shown.
3. After installing or servicing, leak test with a soap solution
with main burner on. Coat pipe and tubing joints, gasket
etc. with soap solution. Bubbles indicate leaks. Tighten
any areas where the bubbles appear until the bubbling
stops completely.

valve.
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or
White off.
