General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1. Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2. Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the
Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign
material.
3. Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather.
4. Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports such
as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
5. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Log Replacement
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door to carefully remove the logs.
The pilot light generates enough heat to burn
someone. If for any reason a log should need re-
placement, you must use the proper replacement
log. The position of these logs must be as shown
in the diagram under Log Installation.
Note:
Improper positioning of logs
may create carbon build-up and
will alter the unit's performance
