Cleaning And Service - Empire Comfort Systems OP36FP32MN-3 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area clean by
vacuuming or brushing the area at least once a year.
Cleaning Instructions
This fireplace is built using mostly high-grade stainless steel to
resist rust-through. In outdoor applications, all stainless steel will
develop a dull patina and, depending on the local environment
and on the materials used in the installation, may develop some
surface oxidation (rust). This does not affect the performance of
the fireplace, and does not require any action to correct. If you
prefer keeping your fireplace front looking factory-fresh, clean it
as required with stainless steel cleaner.
The logs and burner can get very hot - handle only when cool.
Always turn off gas to the fireplace before cleaning. For
relighting, refer to the lighting instructions located on the rating
plate or on pages 17 and 18.
PERIODIC CLEANING – Refer to parts diagram for location

attachment.
