Maintaining Your Stove's Appearance
Painted Surfaces
• Painted surfaces should be cleaned with a duster. If scratches occur, lightly sand the area with fine sandpaper.
Clean the area and, with the stove cool, apply one or two thin coats of stove paint to the area (mask the area to
avoid overspray). Allow the stove to dry, then turn the stove on to cure the paint (1 hour on medium).
Glass
• Clean the glass with soap and water (do not use abrasive cleaners). To remove the glass, follow the instructions
on page 22.
Yearly Service Procedure
! Failure to inspect and maintain the stove may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation.
The following procedures must be done by a qualified technician.
1 Check the pilot flame. It should touch approximately 3/8" of the top of the thermopile and touch the top of the
thermocouple (see illustration below). If it does not, contact your dealer for service.
2 Shut off gas to the stove by turning the gas control knob to "OFF" (see step A under "Starting the Pilot" on page
25). Let the stove cool for 15 minutes. Remove the glass (see pages 22).
3 Remove the log set (NOTE: the logs are very fragile - see page 24). If severely deteriorated, replace.
Check the logs for sooting. A small amount of soot along the bottom of the logs is normal. If excessive sooting
is found, the stove will require adjustment. Contact your dealer.
4 Inspect the firebox for the following:
• Check the burner for cracked, plugged, or deteriorated holes.
• 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.
Check the burner holes.
Make sure the burner is not
warped or damaged.

Before Disassembly - Check the pilot flame.
It should touch the thermocouple and
thermopile.
5 Replace the log set. Replace the glass (if the glass is damaged, replace it). Make sure the gasket along the
perimeter of the glass contacts the face of the firebox and forms an air-tight seal. If it does not, re-align or
replace the gasket to insure an air-tight seal. Replace the face.
6 Inspect the area behind the access door. Clean if necessary. Check the gas control valve and the gas lines. If
any damage is found, discontinue use and contact your dealer for service. Clean the air channels and ducts.
7 Follow the instructions for starting the pilot and turn on the main burner. The flames should be orange/yellow and
not sooty. If the pilot or main burners do not burn correctly, contact your dealer for service
8 Inspect the vent section. Damaged sections should be replaced. Remove any debris or vegetation near the
vent termination. Contact your dealer if any sooting or deterioration is found near the vent termination.
