MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service
person.
The appliance and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified agency.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, et cetera.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners and
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
The appliance area must be kept clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
A periodic visual check of pilot and burner flames must be
done, refer to pilot flame diagram on page 33 of this manual
for proper pilot flame operation and appearance. Refer to
page 35 of this manual for proper burner flame operation
and appearance.
If the unit's installation is tampered with, or its venting system
is removed for any reason, a proper reassembly and resealing
of the vent-air intake system must be performed and checked
by a qualified agency prior to operation.
GOLD OR NICKEL FASCIA -
CARE AND TREATMENT
WARNING!
You must clean all the fingerprints and
oils from gold or nickel surface prior to firing the fireplace
for the first time.
Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and a very soft towel to remove
the oils. If gold or nickel fascia is not cleaned properly prior
to lighting the first fire, the oils remaining from fingerprints
can cause permanent markings on the gold plating. After the
plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish and regular
maintenance can be provided using glass cleaner and a very
soft cloth as needed.

fireplace may lead to improper combustion and
a potentially dangerous situation. The following
procedures are recommended to be completed by a
qualified technician once per year, preferably prior

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 on page 33).
2.
Shut off gas to the fireplace by turning the valve control
knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on
page 34).
Remove the fascia and glass.

Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are extremely fragile
ceramic. If any log is cracked or deteriorated, replace it
when reinstalling. 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.

Clean the burner pan (especially in the burner holes and
slots) and inspect the following:

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.
5.
Reinstall the log set. Reinstall the glass (if the glass is
damaged, contact your dealer for a replacement) Make
sure the gasket along the perimeter of the glass contacts
the face of the firebox and forms an airtight seal. If it does
not, realign or replace the gasket to insure an airtight
seal. Reinstall the fascia.

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.
