Maintenance

A qualified service agency should conduct an annual inspection and maintenance of your Eclipse
including the overall installation and venting to keep it running safely. The following procedures
should be performed only by a qualified service person. The gas supply should be turned off and the
stove should be completely cool whenever a maintenance procedure is performed. All parts of the
appliance that are removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operation.
It is recommended to perform a periodic visual inspection of the pilot and burner flame to ensure they
are burning properly. The flame for the burner should look like the one on the front cover. The pilot
flame should resemble Figure 2 on page 20.
CLEANING THE BURNER AND FIREBOX
During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the service person should clean the
burner and firebox. To gain access to the firebox and burner, follow the instructions beginning on
page 18 of this manual.
DO NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER TO CLEAN THE GLASS BURNER MEDIA.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to clean the metal parts of the firebox. Leave the glass burner media
in place. Use a soft brush to clean the burner glass media. If the burner media does need to be
removed, carefully scoop it off the burner and avoid dropping glass pieces in the air gaps around the
burner. Follow the instructions on page 16 of this manual when replacing the burner media on the
burner top.
AIR FLOW
The AIRES Wall Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace utilizes a convection air heat exchange system to
maximize heat delivered from the fire-place. It is important that air flows freely through the convection
air system and out the top and side air grills. Do not place objects under the fireplace that will block
the convection air inlet flow or in front of any air outlet.
CLEANING THE GLOSS BLACK ENAMEL PANELS
After allowing the Fireplace to cool, use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft, clean cloth to
clean the Enamel Panels at the rear and side of the firebox. It is recommended that the Enamel
Panels be cleaned at least annually to avoid discoloration. More frequent cleaning may be required if
contaminants are present in the gas supply or general atmosphere.
WARNING: Never clean the Enamel Panels while they are hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
cleaners containing ammonia.
NOTE: It is recommended that a Micro-fiber cleaning cloth be used to clean the enamel panels.
