9. MAINTENANCE
9.1. PRECAUTION
A certified technician should perform the annual inspection and maintenance of your fireplace in addition
to the general installation of the fireplace and vent system to keep everything up and running safely. The
gas intake should be cut and the fireplace should be completely cool during any maintenance. All parts of
equipment that are set aside for maintenance must be secured before the next use.
9.2. VENTILATION SYSTEM
An inspection of the vent pipes should be part of the annual maintenance visit. The vent system must not
be blocked. The instructions of the vent system manufacturer can provide specific details regarding the
inspection of the system. Any disassembled section must be reassembled sealed as required.
9.3. CLEANING THE GLASS
Do not clean the glass when hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaners that contain ammonia.
Do not strike or slam the glass door.
Note: The glass manufacturer recommends using a microfiber cleaning cloth and water.
• A thin white film, caused by some paint particles, may appear the first hours the fireplace is being used.
It is recommended to clean the glass after the first two weeks of use.
