WARNING
Turn off gas and electrical power
before servicing the appliance.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety Glasses
for protection while doing
required maintenance
.
IMPORTANT
Always verify proper operation
after servicing.
MAINTENANCE
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 21)
Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance
tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom they
should be performed. Always verify proper opera-
tion of the appliance after servicing.
Before re-lighting the fi replace, refer to the
lighting instructions in this manual. Instruc-
tions are also found on pull-out panels
located below the glass door in the control
compartment.
IMPORTANT
Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass
when it is hot.
• During start-up, it is normal for condensa-
tion to form on the inside of the glass (this
condensation and fog will usually disappear
in a few minutes). The moisture can cause
lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling
to the glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a fi lm
on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a
result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season,
depending on the circumstances present. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for use
to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar & water
• Gas fi replace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
WARNING
Label all wires prior to discon-
nection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous opera-
tion. Verify proper operation
after servicing.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when han-
dling the fi ber logs, as they become quite fragile
after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter
(lint, carbon, etc). on the burner. Ensure the
burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon
deposits from the under side of the logs using
a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e.
paint brush). Note: Improper positioning of
logs can create carbon build-up and will alter
the performance of the appliance.
Replacing Logs -
If the logs become damaged by accident or im-
proper handling and need replacement, use only
the proper replacement logs from manufacturer
(see Page 24 for ordering information).
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Volcanic Stone
- Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 8 to 10). All logs should fi t onto cor-
responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper fl ame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 13.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualifi ed service technician
(inspection should include ensuring that exhaust
or intake passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled and not
damaged). If the venting system is disassembled
for any reason, a qualifi ed service technician
should follow vent installation instructions for
proper reassembly and proper sealing of the
venting system components. However, more
frequent periodic inspections and cleanings
should be performed by the homeowner.
Clean Lower Control Compartment
Keep lower control compartment clean by vacu-
uming or brushing it out at least twice a year (also
clean the air venturi with a brush or wire). More
frequent cleaning may be required due to accumula-
tion of lint from carpeting, bedding materials, pet
hair, spider webs, etc. It is very important that
control compartments, burners, circulating air
passageways and air venturi on the appliance
are NOT obstructed in any way.
IMPORTANT
It is imperative that the control
compartment, burners and
circulating air passage ways of
appliance be kept clean.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Pages 7).
Note: Clean glass after fi rst two weeks of opera-
tion (after Burn-In period is over) and then only
when necessary and when the fi replace is cool.
Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth.
Follow with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care
not to scratch the glass surface.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to
remove any build-up caused from the following:
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection
should include:
Terminals at the Valve
• OFF/ON Switch
(Optional Control Switch) Wall Thermostat,
Remote Control or Remote Wall Switch Kit
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance
Ensure that the burner flame appearance
resembles the fl ame shown in Figure 10 and
as described in Flame Appearance and Sooting
on Page 11. The Homeowner must contact
a qualifi ed service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
The fi nish of the appliance is a high quality pow-
dercoat. Only use factory supplied powdercoat
paint kit for touch-ups. Paint is available at your
local authorized LHP dealer, cat. no. 90L74.
Never attempt to paint a hot fi replace.
