Caution: Turn off gas and electrical power supply and allow
ample time for unit to cool before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that this appliance and venting should be
inspected at least once a year by a qualified service person.

Glass Panel:
Warning: Do not operate appliance with glass panel re-
moved, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass panel
should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Do not strike or otherwise impact the glass in anyway that
may cause it to break. If the glass becomes cracked or broken,
it must be replaced before using the fireplace. Replacement
glass can be obtained from your nearest Pacific Energy
dealer. The size required is 13 3/4" x 27 3/8" x 5mm. Use
ceramic glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.
To remove broken glass, fold down the front bottom louver
to access the window latches.
Disengage the over-center latches by pulling each lever down
and forward. Grasp the sides of the frame and swing the
bottom out to clear. Lift up and forward to disengage from the
top. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very
sharp. Install new glass complete with gasket. Replace frame.
Annual Inspection:
1) Clean louvers and air passage ways of excessive lint
buildup from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The flow of
combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
2) Remove glass frame assembly and log set. Inspect logs
and burner assembly for lint and soot buildup. If excessive
buildup of soot is present, have a qualified service person
inspect and adjust unit for proper combustion. Clean logs and
burner with a vacuum cleaner, paying close attention to
burner ports.
