WARNING: Failure to inspect and maintain your heater may lead to improper
burning inside the heater, leading to a dangerous situation.
Remove the door (see the illustration below).
Remove the logs and coals (see the instructions on the following page).
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to vacuum any dirt off the
burner pan (see the illustration below). The rear log is fragile and should not be
vacuumed. Inspect the burner pan and firebox for any deterioration. If it shows
signs of deterioration, call your dealer for a full inspection. There should be no
soot in the firebox, except for a small amount on the logs where the flames brush
up against them. If there is additional soot, the heater may need adjustment.
Contact your dealer for information.
To replace the front log and coals follow the directions in the section "Installing
the Logs and Coals".
Replace the door. Turn the door handle clockwise until the door seals tight with
door handle facing downward.
Swing the

both hands).
