Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance
WARNING : Make sure the appliance has fully cooled prior to cleaning.
Painted Surfaces
•
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with a duster. If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper.
Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to
avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).
Enamel Surfaces
•
Use only soft cloth and water to clean enamel surfaces. To fix chips in the enamel, follow the directions below:
1)
Let the stove cool. Clean the area thoroughly.
2)
Shake the Travis Enamel Touch-Up thoroughly. Apply to the damaged area.
Glass
•
Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasives). To remove the glass, follow the instructions on page 24.
Yearly Service Procedure
•
Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous
situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1
Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the
thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2
Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page
29). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see page 24).
3
Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 26). If severely deteriorated, replace.
Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting
is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4
Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:
•
Make sure the burner is not warped, cracked, or damaged.
•
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the walls and ceiling
of the firebox for
deterioration.
5
Replace the log set. Clean and replace the glass (use non-abrasive cleaner - if damaged, replace). Make sure
the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does
not, re-align or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the glass.
6
Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If
damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.
7
Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top of the
firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service. Monitor the blower
operation.
8
Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is
found near the vent termination.
