Annual service and maintenance

We recommend having your fi replace serviced every year. Contact your dealer quoting the model number. It will
be helpful if the fi replace's serial number can also be quoted. These numbers are on the information card (see
page 7).
A list of replacement parts is included in your fi replace Installation Manual. Please always quote the part number
and description when requesting spare parts.

tem Pilot or Flame rectifi cation device.
