TO CLEAN THE BURNER SYSTEM

1. Remove the glass/gems. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from all surfaces of the burner

system. Do not use cleaning ﬂ uids.

2. Dust the assembly and the burner. Using a compressed

air duster (commonly available at computer, electronic, or

ofﬁ ce supply stores); blow through all of the burner ports.

3. Reinstall the glass/gems as instructed in this manual.

If, after a period of use, the ﬂ ames start to exhibit unusual shapes

and behavior, or the burners fail to ignite smoothly, the burner

ports may require some cleaning. If this happens, it is preferable

to contact the nearest dealer to get the appliance serviced.

Do not remove the rating plates or the warning tags. These

are an integral safety and identiﬁ cation component of this appliance.

We recommend following these instructions at the beginning of each ﬁ replace season and as needed

throughout the year, depending on your usage pattern and the environmental conditions in your home.
