MAINTENANCE
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 exces-
sive 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 conse-
quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED or
BRASS LOUVERS
The 24 carat gold-plated or brass finish on the
louvers and trim requires little maintenance,
and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical clean-
ers, as they may harm the finish and void the
warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off be-
fore turning the unit on.
GOLD-PLATED or
BRASS TRIM
The 24 carat gold plated or brass finish on the
trim requires little maintenance, and need only
be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off before turning
the unit on.
If the top louvers start to
discolour, check the door gasket seal
and replace if necessary.
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 and 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 diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's perform-
ance which is not covered under
warranty.

nect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
4) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
