PROCEDURE
Inspect valve and ensure it is properly operating. Check piping
for leaks. Vacuum the control compartment, fireplace logs and
burner area.
Refer to Figures 12 through 14 on Page 16 and verify the
flame pattern and height displayed by the appliance conforms
to the picture. Flames must not impinge on the logs. Ensure
flames are steady (not lifting or floating).
Refer to Figure 16 (SIT Millivolt) or Figure 17 (Electronic) on
Page 17. Remove any surface build-up on pilot and burner
assembly. Wipe the pilot nozzles, igniter/flame rod and hood.
Ensure the pilot flame engulfs the flame sensor as shown.
Inspect the vent system at the top and at the base (within the
firebox) for signs of blockage or obstruction. Look for any signs
of dislocation or deterioration of the vent components. Note:
Excessive condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and
fittings (excessive condensation can be caused by long lateral
runs, too many elbows and/or exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather). Also inspect wall straps or
plumbers's tape to ensure it is secure and in place.
Perform the appropriate appliance checkout procedure detailed
in this manual.
Remove old ember materials (rockwool) and vacuum the ember
placement area. Place new embers as described and shown in
Figures 9 and 10.
PROCEDURE
Carefully remove logs, rockwool and volcanic stone. Vacuum out
interior of the firebox. Clean firebox walls and log grate. Replace
logs, rockwool, and volcanic stone as detailed in this manual.
Refer to Figures 12 through 14 on Page 16 and verify the flame
pattern and height displayed by the appliance conforms to the
picture. Flames must not impinge on the logs.
