General Vent Maintenance

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down
the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign
material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by
having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows,
and exterior portions of the system being ex-
posed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports such
as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

Log Replacement

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn
off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before
opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot
light generates enough heat to burn someone. If
for any reason a log should need replacement, you
must use the proper replacement log. The position
of these logs must be as shown in the diagram
under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will alter the unit's
performance which is not covered under
warranty.

WARNING: Do not operate appliance
with glass panel removed, cracked

fied service person.

Fan Maintenance

If your fan requires maintenance or replacement,
access to the fan is through the rear access panel
on the back of the unit.
IMPORTANT: These fans collect a lot of dust from
within your home. Ensure you maintain these
fan motors on a regular basis by vacuuming
out the fan squirrel cages, around the motor,
and around the grills on the back of the stove.
