It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
six hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been
installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that a qualified service person perform these check-
ups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1.
Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2.
Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3.
Vacuum burner compartment.
4.
Reinstall glass front.
5.
Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6.
Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.
• Check Vent System
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure
that no debris is interfering with the air flow.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and
causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the
glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two
or three times with a non-abrasive household cleaner and warm
water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that clean
the glass two or three times during each heating season or more
often if necessary.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
NOTE

on glass. Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
Glass Door Removal
1.
Lower the bottom control compartment cover.
2.
Locate the bottom two glass frame spring clamps. Pull forward
and downward to release them from the Glass Door frame.
3.
Remove the Glass Door by pulling the bottom of the door
outward several inches, then lift upwards to disengage from
the firebox upper flange.
Glass Door Installation
1.
When installing the Glass Door assembly, make sure that the
door top flange is hooked over the firebox top flange as illustrated
in the "Correct" view in Figure 71.
Important: Do not allow the gasket across the top of the
door to roll up on top of the firebox flange as shown in
"Incorrect" view in Figure 71.
2.
To install correctly, the door should be held at an angle outward
from the firebox as shown in the illustration, then carefully engage
the upper flange of the door frame with the top flange of the
firebox. Center the door left to right, then allow the bottom of
the door to swing inward to seal against the firebox front.
3.
Once the glass door is placed flat to the firebox front edges,
engage the two spring latches to the bottom flange on the glass
door frame to secure the door assembly.
4.
Replace the bottom control compartment cover.
