Maintaining Your Heater's Appearance
!
Fingerprints or other marks left on the optional gold or nickel surface may become etched in place if
they are not wiped clean prior to turning the stove on. Clean the gold or nickel with denatured alcohol
and a soft cloth (make sure the heater is cool). Other cleaners may leave a film that may become
etched into the gold or nickel.
Yearly Service Procedure
!
Failure to inspect and maintain the heater may lead to improper combustion and a potentially
dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.
1
Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the
top of the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2
Shut off gas to the heater by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the
Pilot" on page 23). Let the heater cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see instructions
included with face) and glass (see page 17).
3
Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 19). If severely deteriorated,
replace. Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If
excessive sooting is found, the heater will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4
Clean the burner (especially the burner holes) and inspect the following:
•
Check the burner for cracks, deterioration, or warping
•
Check the firebox and area around the pilot to make sure there is no warping or damage.
If any problem is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
Check the
burner
holes.
Make sure the burner
is not warped or
damaged.
5
Replace the log set. Replace the glass. Make sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass
contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align. If the glass or glass
frame is damaged, replace it.
6
Inspect behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and gas lines. If
damage is found, discontinue use and contact dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.
7
Start the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and not touch the top
of the firebox. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service.
Monitor the blower operation.
8
Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.
