Your Radiance Gas Heater will provide years of service with
minimal upkeep. The following procedures will help ensure
that your stove continues to function properly.

Annual System Inspection

Have the entire heater and venting system inspected
annually by a qualified gas technician. Replace any worn
or broken parts.
Logset and Burner /
Cleaning and Inspection
Cleanliness is critical to the proper function of the heater.
The logset and burner must all be kept free of dust and
unobstructed by debris. Inspect these areas before each
use and clean as necessary.
1. Turn the burner OFF and let the heater cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Remove the safety barrier and lift the stove front up
and then swing the bottom out to disengage it from the
heater shell. (Fig. 84)
3. Carefully remove the glass and frame assembly and
place it out of the way on a flat, padded surface such
as a counter protected by a towel.
4. Carefully inspect the Logs for damage. Contact your
local dealer if any damage is evident.
5. Use a soft bristled brush to sweep dust or debris from
the Logs, Pilot and Burner. Use care as the logs are
fragile and susceptible to damage.
6. Replace the glass panel and frame assembly.
7. Replace the stove front and safety barrier.

Care of Cast Iron

An occasional dusting with a dry rag will help keep the
painted surfaces looking new. Use high-temperature stove
paints, available through your local dealer, to touch-up ar-
eas as needed. Clean areas to be painted with a wire brush
and be sure to cover the logs, burner and valve assembly,
glass and frame assembly. Apply the paint sparingly; two
light coats of paint will give better results than a single
heavy coat.
Clean porcelain enamel surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. If necessary, use only
a cleaning agent formulated especially for use on porcelain
enamel surfaces.
CAUTION
TURN THE PILOT OFF BEFORE PAINTING. ALLOW
THE HEATER TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
PAINTING.

Maintenance

WARNING: Allow the glass to cool completely
before attempting to clean.
A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from
the hot viewing glass is provided with this
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During
start-up, condensation, which is normal, forms on the in-
side 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-ammonia household cleaner and warm water
(we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the
glass should be cleaned two or three times during each
heating season depending on the circumstances present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
