Maintenance

This appliance and venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service
technician
General cleaning:
Vacuum the controls area under the firebox at least
monthly or more frequently if pet hair is in the
environment.
The firebox should be vacuumed annually. Be sure
to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assembly and burner
orifice and burner tube. Use a brush attachment to
vacuum the log set.
Gasket inspection: Inspect the glass gasket annually.
Examine the gasket for signs of deterioration or
stiffness and confirm that the gasket maintains
a positive seal. This is important to prevent
combustion gases escaping into the room. Replace
the gasket if necessary. Refer to the replacement
parts list on page 31.
Accent Lamp Replacement
1. Remove the cast iron Upper Grill
2. Remove the lamp shade and bulb receptacle (three
screws). See fig. 54, pg. 31. Replace with 222943 130V,
50W light bulb.
3. Handle the new bulb with gloves. Skin oils will cause
the bulb to fail prematurely. If you touch the bulb
with your bare skin, wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
4, Replace components previously removed.
Battery Replacement
Loosen the battery box wing nut and pull the box out of
the insert. Replace with four AA batteries noting polarity
indicated on the holder.
Glass Care
Moisture condensation is a normal occurrence with gas
appliances and particulate accumulation may appear
on the inside surface to the glass. Use a dampened, soft
cloth to clean the glass and polish with a dry, soft towel.
Specially-formulated ceramic glass cleaner may also
be used. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR AMMONIA BASED
CLEANING SOLUTIONS. TAKE CARE NOT TO SCRATCH THE
GLASS SURFACE.

Glass Replacement

To remove the glass panel or glass gasket:
1. Open the Controls Panel. Loosen battery box wing
nut and push the box out of the way of the latch
mechanism. See fig. 13, pg. 16.
2. Use the Latch Tool to release the glass clips on either
side of the bottom of the firebox.
3. Swing the bottom of the glass frame out and lift up to
disengage it from the firebox.
4. Lay the assembly on a flat surface and use a flat blade
screwdriver or pliers to pry up the two steel tabs that
secure the glass panel to the frame.

frame and secure with the steel tabs. Do not over
tighten the tabs as that could break the glass.
