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. 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 burner. Using a compressed
air duster (commonly available at computer, electronic, or offi ce
supply stores); blow through the burner ports. See Fig. 19-4 on
the previous page for location.
3. Reinstall the log set as instructed in this manual.
If, after a period of use, the fl ames start to exhibit unusual shapes and
behavior, or the burner fails 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.
21-1) 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 the air intake opening (see Fig. 21-1) by lightly brushing around the opening while vacuuming.
Note: It is very important that the air intake opening be kept clear of debris. Should the opening 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 CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE section.
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 the air
intake opening, ensuring that the nozzle is pointed toward the ODS pilot opening (see Fig. 21-1). Blow
air through the intake opening 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. 21-1) 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.
