NOTICE
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.

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.

Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

GlassFrameAssemblyandCombustionChamber
Whenever the glass frame assembly is pivoted open by a delayed
ignition in the main burner, the glass frame assembly gaskets and
combustion chamber must be examined by a qualied service person
for damage. All damaged gaskets on the glass frame assembly and
combustion chamber must be replaced by a qualied service person.
If damage occurs to the combustion chamber, it must be replaced
by a qualied service person. Contact Empire Comfort Systems,
Inc. for replacement parts.
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 household cleaner and warm water
(we recommend gas replace glass cleaner). After that the glass
should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season
depending on the circumstances present.
