MAINTENANCE

AND
Make sure the gas valve knob is in the "OFF" position. Wait at least five (5) minutes before starting maintenance. Fireplace
must be cold before starting maintenance.

VENTING SYSTEM

A qualified agency should examine the venting system annually.

CLEANING GLASS

Clean the tempered glass periodically. Condensation will some-
times form on the glass during a cold startup. This is normal
for all gas fireplaces. This condensation often attracts dust and
lint to the surface of the glass. The initial paint curing of the
appliance can also leave a slight film on the glass.
Your should clean the glass after the first two weeks of use. After that, you should clean the glass no more than two or three times
a season. Use a mild glass cleaner to clean the door. Do not use abrasive cleaners. They will damage the glass surface.
