The Sterling requires minimal routine maintenance
and care. The unit should always be cool and off
when cleaned, or serviced.
Once a year the unit and venting system should be
inspected by qualified service personnel to ensure
that they are clean, prevent the accumulation of dust,
lint and other debris, free of obstruction, safe and in
good working condition. To clean the firebox, set the
switch to the "OFF" position, and turn off the gas at
the gas control valve.
When the unit is cool, remove the front cast and glass
assembly and carefully remove the decorative fiber
log set taking care not to damage the logs or chip the
enameled cast iron. Clean the ember burner, and
carefully vacuum the entire surface of the log set.
Take care to thoroughly vacuum the ports (holes) on
the top of the ember burner. With the decorative
STERLING Ht Gas-Fired Direct Vent heater
fiber logs out of the firebox, re-install the glass
assembly and briefly light the unit according to
lighting instructions described on Page 4. Check to
ensure a flame is burning from each burner port.
Check the pilot. The pilot flame should be large
enough to engulf the thermocouple and thermopile.
Turn the unit off by setting the switch to "Off", and
turning off the gas control valve. Allow the unit to
cool. Check and clean any burner ports that are not
burning, or not burning properly. Clean the burner
ports using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Adjust
the pilot flame height if necessary. Complete the
cleaning procedure by carefully placing the log set
back in the firebox as described on in the installation
of log set on page 17. Close and refasten the glass
assembly and front cast. Turn on the gas, light the
unit and check for proper operation and correct flame
pattern.

WARNING! Do not use abrasives when
cleaning the glass.
