Maintaining and Servicing Your Appliance
Appliance Maintenance
Although the frequency of your appliance servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
appliance maintenance task.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR APPLIANCE.

and repeat this procedure at your next servicing. For more
information, see Placing Ember Material.
