It is normal for steel appliances to make expansion and/or
contraction noise during the start-up or cool-down cycle.
Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger
or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any oil from the manufacturing process.
If odor becomes offensive, open windows.
Burn the fireplace for at least six hours the first time you use
it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the "OFF"
position during this time.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. Have a
qualified service person perform these check-ups at the beginning
of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1.
Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2.
Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3.
Vacuum burner compartment.
4.
Reinstall glass front.
5.
Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6.
Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.
• Check Vent System
Inspect the appliance and venting system before initial use and
at least annually. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis
to make sure no debris is interferes with the air flow.
Glass Cleaning
Clean the glass periodically. During start-up, condensation forms on
the inside of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles
to cling to the glass. Also initial paint curing may deposit a film on
the glass. Allow the fireplace to cool and then clean the glass two
or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm
water. We recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner. After that, clean
the glass two or three times during each heating season or more
often if necessary.
Wiring
If any of the original wire supplied with this unit must be replaced,
use no. 18, 150°C wire or its equivalent.
