Annual Cleaning
Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney, should be
inspected and cleaned every year. If the intake and
exhaust venting is disassembled for any reason, it should
be reassembled and sealed according to the
manufacturer's instructions provided at the initial
installation.
Burner and Logset
Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment,
Convection Airways and optional Blower to BE CERTAIN
THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
The firebox should be vacuumed annually to remove
any surface build up. Use a soft brush attachment and
handle the logs carefully as they are fragile. Be sure to
vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner
surfaces.
Glass Care
Clean the glass only when necessary. Wipe the surface
with a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft
towel. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.

CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.
