NOTE: It is normal for steel appliances to make expansion
and/or contraction noise as they heat up or cool-down.
Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger
or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the
first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint
and any oil from the manufacturing process.
If odor becomes offensive, open windows.
Burn the fireplace for at least six hours the first time you use it.
If the optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the “OFF”
position during this time.
IMPORTANT:
Turn off the gas before servicing appliance. Have a
qualified service person perform these check-ups at the beginning
of each heating season.
• Clean Burner and Control Compartment
Keep the control compartment, logs, and burner areas surrounding
the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Turn off pilot light using your remote. Allow the fireplace to cool
completely.
2. Remove glass front and barrier screen. (See glass and barrier
screen removal.)
3. Vacuum burner compartment.
4. Re-install glass front and barrier screen.
5. Ignite pilot. (See Lighting Instructions)
6. Operate the pilot burner. If it appears abnormal contact your
dealer for service.
• Check Vent System
Inspect the fireplace and venting system before initial use and at
least annually. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis
to make sure no debris is interferes with the air flow.
Cleaning the Glass
Clean the glass periodically. We recommend gas fireplace glass
cleaner. During start-up, condensation forms on the inside of the
glass causing lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass. Also initial paint curing may deposit a film on the glass. Allow
the fireplace to cool and then clean the glass two or three times with
gas fireplace glass cleaner or a non-abrasive household cleaner
and warm water. After that, clean the glass two or three times during
each heating season or more often if necessary.
WARNING
Clean glass with cleaner designed for fireplaces.
Do not use Ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on glass.
Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
Wiring
If any of the original wire supplied with this unit must be replaced,
