Yearly Service Procedure

! Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace 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 engulf approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and engulf the top of
the thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2 Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on
page 27). Let the fireplace cool for 15 minutes. Remove the faceplate (see page 24) and glass (see page 22).
3 Remove the log set (see page 23). If any log is cracked or deteriorated, replace it when re-installing. Check
the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting is
found, the fireplace will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4 Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and slots) and inspect the following:
• Check for burner pan holes that are cracked, severely warped, or corroded.
• Make sure the burner pan assembly fits flat against the floor of the firebox.
• 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 and slots.
Make sure the
burner pan seals
against the floor of
the firebox.
5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (use a new gasket - if the glass is damaged, replace it). 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 or replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the faceplate.
6 Inspect the area behind the access door. Check the gas control valve and all of the gas lines. If any damage is
found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service.
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. If it makes excessive noise, contact your dealer for an evaluation.
8 Remove any debris or vegetation near the vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or
deterioration is found near the vent termination.
Before dissassembly, check the pilot flame. It should
engulf approximately 3/8" of the thermopile and engulf
the top of the thermocouple.
