MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Maintenance

The Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly inspected at 

least once a year by a qualified technician. 

At the beginning of each  season, check for:

• 

Chimney flue or vent pipe is drawing properly, and that vent 

pipe connections are tight.

• 

Blockages at the chimney or vent termination.

• 

Creosote and soot build-up in chimney and/or vents (clean if 

necessary).

• 

Inspect the pilot and burners.

• 

Remove dust, cobwebs, pet hair or other debris from the 

fireplace.

• 

Check for gas leaks. See page 11.

The burner system has been adjusted for proper operation at the 

factory. No adjustment is necessary, other than altitude de-rate or 

pilot flame.

WARNING

NEVER enlarge valve orifices or burner ports.

Sooting

Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance 

of burned wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs 

using either of the following options::

A.  When the logs are cold, remove logs from burner, brush the 

soot off with a brush. Do not use water or soot cleaners.

B.  When the logs are cold, remove logs from burner. Take 

logs outside and remove soot with an air hose. Refer to 

Installation Instructions supplied with logs for re-installa-

tion information.

Cleaning

Keep the control area, logs and burner area surrounding the logs clean.

THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT— HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL.

Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible 

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the 

front of the appliance clear of all obstacles and materials.

Inspecting Venting System

A  vented  fireplace  venting  system  is  designed  and  constructed 

to develop a positive flow adequate to remove flue gases to the 

outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, may cause flue gases 

to flow into the room. 
Periodic examination and/or cleaning of the venting system of the 

solid-fuel  burning  fireplace  must  be  done  by  a  qualified  service 

person. Visually inspect the damper and flue area for excessive 

soot build-up. This soot (carbon) may be removed by brushing with 

a soft bristle brush.
