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 21, 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 29.
• Replace ember material periodically as needed. See Replacement
Parts on page 29.
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. Re-
move 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.
