CALIBER DESIGNER SERIES
L. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean the Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Always
turn off the wall switch (or remote control) and gas
valve before cleaning.
2. Check the Vent System
Test the venting system periodically to ensure proper
operation. Remove the hood (grasp hood and pull
out) and proceed with the directions in Step 4, page 9.
3. Check the Flame Patterns
Check the flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady, not lifting or floating. The
flame color should be blue with yellow tips. The flame
sensor (intermittent pilot) or thermopile and
thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be covered
with flame. See Figures 20-22.
Note:
After extended periods of burning, film may
build up on the flame sensor (intermittent pilot
ignition). The flame sensor should be cleaned
annually with emery cloth to remove this build up.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the vent
may cause the flames inside the appliance to lift or
“ghost” - a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames
after installation to ensure proper performance. See
Figure 20. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the
flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the
appliance and contact the dealer.

To prevent the possibility of soot, we have provided
your appliance with an adjustable air shutter. Your air
shutter is provided in the closed position for natural
gas and in the open position for propane. In the event
soot is accumulating in your appliance, the air shutter
should be opened farther. This can be done by
opening the control access panel and locating the
handle located on the bottom of the firebox. When the
handle is turned out, the air shutter is fully closed.
When the handle is turned in, the air shutter is fully
open.
Note:
The look of the flames and embers may dif-
fer based on the type of fuel and venting assembly
that is required.
Flame covers the top ½” of the thermopile and the
thermocouple.
