Maintenance
Cleaning
CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or other
parts of the unit, be sure to read the section on impor-
tant safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each
year and after long periods of non-use. Professional
servicing is recommended.
All cleaning should be carried out when the appliance is
cold.
Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use.
Dusting the front grate or the control knob panel may be
required occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to
clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or
if the burner(s) fail to ignite properly, then the burner
holes may require cleaning. If this occurs contact your
nearest dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing
the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage
them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each
end.
After the logs are removed allowing access to the
burner area, use the brush attachment from your
vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust and loose par-
ticles from the base, logs and from around the burner.
Gloves are recommended when handling the logs. Use
extreme caution when cleaning around the pilot (ODS).
The pilot should not be moved or altered from the
original factory setting (Pilot to burner preset location).
To clean the pilot, take an Air Duster can (computer
cleaner compressed air) and insert the nozzle into
the primary air inlet. Shoot a short blast of air into the
inlet to clear dust. (Fig. 25) The burner should not be
removed or taken out of it’s locked and secure position
(proper location of burners are critical).
Logs must be carefully replaced in their orignial, preset
positions (Fig. 26), to prevent the rear flames from
touching any log. No other arrangement is permitted.
Incorrect placement can diminish combustion efficiency
and cause sooting.
A qualified gas professional should periodically check
and clean the orifices and burners per National Fuel
Gas Code, Appendix B.
Lack of proper maintenance may void warranty.
