Please Note
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noise during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas replace to give off some odor the
rst time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any
undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all
windows.
It is recommended that you burn your replace for at least six
(6) hours the rst time you use it.
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that a qualied service person perform these check-
ups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off pilot light at control module.
2. Remove glass front. (See Glass Removal)
3. Vacuum burner compartment.
4. Reinstall glass front.
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal call a service
person.
• Check Vent System
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualied service person.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure
that no debris is interfering with the air ow.
Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up
condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and
causes lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight lm on the glass.
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three
times with a non-abrasive ammonia free household cleaner and
warm water (we recommend gas replace glass cleaner, contact a
local dealer for this product). After that the glass should be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season depending on the
circumstances present.
General Glass Information
