Maintenance
The Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly inspected at
least once a year by a qualified technician.
At the beginning of each season, check for:
•
Chimney flue or vent pipe is drawing properly, and that vent
pipe connections are tight.
•
Blockages at the chimney or vent termination.
•
Creosote and soot build-up in chimney and/or vents (clean if
necessary).
•
Inspect the pilot and burners.
•
Remove dust, cobwebs, pet hair or other debris from the fire-
place.
•
Check for gas leaks. See page 11.
The burner system has been adjusted for proper operation at the
factory. No adjustment is necessary, other than altitude de-rate or
pilot flame.
NEVER enlarge valve orifices or burner ports.
Sooting
Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance
of burned wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs
using either of the following options:
A.
When the logs are cold, remove logs from burner, brush the
soot off with a brush. Do not use water or soot cleaners.
B.
When the logs are cold, remove logs from burner. Take
logs outside and remove soot with an air hose. Refer to
Installation Instructions supplied with logs for re-installa-
tion information.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
WARNING
Cleaning
Keep the control area, logs and burner area surrounding the logs clean.
THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT— HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the
front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.
Inspecting Venting System
A vented fireplace venting system is designed and constructed
to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the
outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause flue gases
to flow into the room.
Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the
solid-fuel burning fireplace must be done by a qualified service
person. Visually inspect the damper and flue area for excessive
soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing with
a soft bristle brush.
