CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off burner system and let cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control areas, burners,
and circulating air passageways of burner system
and stove clean. Inspect these areas of burner sys-
tem and stove before each use. Have burner system
and stove inspected yearly by a qualified service
person. Burner system and stove may need more
frequent cleaning due to excessive lint from carpet-
ing, bedding material, pet hair, etc.
GLASS DOOR
WARNING: Handle glass door panel with care.
Do not strike, slam, or otherwise abuse glass. Do not
operate burner system with the glass door removed,
cracked, or broken.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners as this
may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household
glass cleaner to clean glass. Do not clean glass
when hot.
Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up it is normal for
condensation to form on the inside of the glass causing lint, dust, and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial
startup a slight film may form on the glass due to paint curing. The
glass should be cleaned several times with a non-ammonia, non-
abrasive household cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks
of operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three times during
each heating season, depending on the usage and circumstances
present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page 24 of this
manual when removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manufac-
turer should be used when replacing broken or
damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts ,
page 33). This glass door panel is a complete unit.
No substitute materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while
handling or removing broken glass. Do not remove if
glass is hot. Keep children and pets away from glass.
If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass door (see Remov-
ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 24). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
Use only the ceramic glass door replacement intended for this
burner system (see Replacement Parts, page 33 for detail on

Glass Door, page 24 for instructions for replacing glass door.
WARNING: Do not operate burner system with the
glass door removed, cracked, or broken.
PILOT AND BURNERS
• Remove ember material before cleaning burners and replace
when cleaning is complete.
• Burner and controls should be cleaned with compressed air to
remove dust, dirt, or lint.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or small, soft bristled brush to remove
excess dust, dirt, or lint.
LOGS
• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to Installing Logs, Lava
Rock, and Glowing Embers, page 25, to properly replace logs.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any carbon buildup on logs.
• Replace log(s) if broken. See Replacement Parts on page 33.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement
Parts on page 33.
VENTING SYSTEM
Conduct annual inspection of the venting system following these
guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are exposed to the
weather for corrosion (rust spots or streaks and, in extreme
cases, holes). Have these items replaced immediately by a
qualified service person.
2. Remove the vent cap and shine a flashlight into the vent.
Remove any foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensation. Continuous
condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipes, and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, or exterior portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section or fitting has been
disturbed and loosened. Check mechanical supports such as
wall straps for rigidity.
