many years of trouble-free service. Contact your dealer
to answer questions regarding proper operation, trou-
bleshooting and service for your appliance. Visit www.

B. Maintenance Tasks - Homeowner
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service
technician only. The appliance should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a professional service person.
The following tasks may be performed annually by the
homeowner. If you are uncomfortable performing any of
the listed tasks, please call your dealer for a service ap-
pointment.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera. It is im-
perative that control compartments, burners and circulat-
ing air passageways of the appliance be kept clean. Any
safety screen, guard, or barrier removed for servicing the
appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appli-
ance.
CAUTION! Risk of Burns! The fireplace should be
turned off and cooled before servicing.
