MAINTENANCE

1) Always turn off the gas valve and tank before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by

brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the twigs, use a soft clean paint brush as the twigs are fragile and easily damaged.

2) Clean off leaves etc. before burning.

3) Clean appliance with a damp cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a outdoor decorative gas

appliance glass cleaner.

4) Hand and ﬁ nger marks should be cleaned off with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Most stainless steel cleaners leave a ﬁ lm/

residue on the surface of the panels. Use an ammonia based cleaner (ie. glass cleaner) to remove this ﬁ lm before applying heat to the unit.

Failure to do this will result in burn stains on panels which you will be unable to remove.

Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the ﬂ ame of the burner periodically, making sure the ﬂ ames are

steady; not lifting or ﬂ oating. If there is a problem, call a qualiﬁ ed service person.

6) The appliance must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualiﬁ ed ﬁ eld service person, to ensure that the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation

air is not obstructed.

7) Do not use this appliance if the valve and/or electronic components have been or are submerged under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician

to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water. This is not covered under the

terms of the warranty policy.
