MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Turn off gas before servicing appliance. It is
recommended that a qualified service technician perform these
check-ups at the beginning of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment,logs and burner area surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure(Figure 18)
1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve.
2. Remove screen front. [(2) 10 x 1/2"screws]
3. Vacuum burner compartment especially around orif ice/primary
air openings. See Page 10,Adjusting Air Shutter.
4. Replace screen front. [(2) 10 x 1/2"screws]
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions, page 13)
6. Operate the main burner and visually check to make sure the
flame pattern appears similarto the pictorial illustration shown
