Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use of the unvented gas log set.

TO CLEAN THE LOG SET

1. Remove the log set and embers. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose

particles from all surfaces of the log set. Do not use cleaning ﬂ uids.

2. Dust the grate, the assembly, and the burners. Using a compressed air

duster (commonly available at computer, electronic, or ofﬁ ce supply

stores); blow through the ﬂ ash tube, its corresponding carry over port,

and all of the burner ports. See Fig. 25-4 on the previous page for

locations.

3. Reinstall the log set and embers 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 unvented gas log set serviced.

Do not remove the rating plates or the warning tags. These are an integral safety and identiﬁ cation

component of this appliance.

During periods of heavy use, inspect the unvented gas log set frequently for evidence of sooting. If sooting is

present, discontinue use until the source of sooting is corrected.

CLEANING AND SERVICING THE ODS PILOT

Periodic cleaning and maintenance of the unvented gas log set is recommended to ensure that the log set operates

properly. Cleaning of the ODS pilot system is an important part of the maintenance program.

This ODS pilot cleaning procedure must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician familiar

with the speciﬁ c characteristics of the log set.

1. Turn the unvented gas log set to the OFF position and allow it to cool. Inspect the ODS pilot area (see Fig. 26-1)

for any visual contamination or debris (usually lint, hair, spider webs, or small insects). Lightly brush off all

external surfaces while vacuuming loosened debris from the ODS pilot opening. Be careful not to brush

any foreign material into the ODS pilot opening.

2. Clean out both air intake openings (see Fig. 26-2) by lightly brushing around the openings while vacuuming.

Note: It is very important that the air intake openings be kept clear of debris. Should the openings become

blocked, the ODS pilot system will not operate properly.

3. Light the ODS pilot according to the relevant LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS page. Periodically verify the ODS pilot

ﬂ ame appears as shown in the lighting instruction diagram.

4. If the ODS pilot ﬂ ame does not burn as indicated in the instructions, extinguish the ODS pilot by turning the

valve to the full OFF position. Using a compressed air duster, insert the ﬂ exible nozzle through either air intake

openings, ensuring that the nozzle is pointed toward the ODS pilot opening (see Fig. 26-2). Blow air through

both air intake openings to clear out any debris that may be in the system.

5. Relight the ODS pilot and inspect it to be sure it is burning as shown in the instructions. If not, extinguish the

ODS pilot and turn off the gas supply to the gas log set. Using an adjustable or a

" wrench, disconnect

the ODS pilot gas line (see Fig. 26-1) from the valve.

6. Insert the ﬂ exible nozzle of the compressed air duster and

blow air into the input end of the ODS pilot gas line to remove

any blockages. Do not blow air directly into the ODS pilot

opening. Blow air in the direction of the gas ﬂ ow.

7. Reinstall the ODS pilot gas line and check for leaks.

8. Light the ODS pilot to make sure it is operating properly (see

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS).

9. If the ODS pilot still does not operate properly, the ODS pilot

may need to be replaced with the same model as the one

on the unvented burner.
