Maintaining and Servicing Your Appliance
Appliance Maintenance
Although the frequency of your appliance servicing and main-
tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you
should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-
ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.
See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each
appliance maintenance task.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING
YOUR APPLIANCE.
Replacing old ember material
Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.
Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape
pieces. New ember material should be placed alternately
on top of the burner. Save the remaining ember material
and repeat this procedure at your next servicing. For more
information, see Placing Ember Material.
Cleaning Burner and Controls
Frequency: Once annually.
By: Qualified service technician.
Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, appliance
logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.
Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height
Frequency: Periodically.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.
Task: Make a visual check of your appliance’s flame
patterns. Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or
floating. See Figure 42. The thermopile/thermocouple tips
should be covered with flame. See Figure 33.
Checking Vent System
Frequency: Before initial use and at least annually
thereafter, more frequently if possible.
By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.

ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect
entire vent system for proper function.
