IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING FIRST FIRE UP
: When the unit is turned on for the first time, it
should be turned onto high without the fan on for the first 4 hours. This will cure the paint, logs, gasket
material and the other products used in the manufacturing process. It is advisable to open a window or
door, as the unit will start to smoke and can irritate some people. After the unit has gone through the
first burn turn the unit off including the pilot, let the unit get cold then remove the glass door and clean
it with a good gas fireplace glass cleaner, available at your local ENVIRO dealer.
Warning:
Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Depending upon the amount of use, cleaning should be required no more than two or three
times per season.
Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not blocked
by anything. The pilot flame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualified agency.
OPENING THE DOOR
1. Turn unit off and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
2. Open the lower louver panel.
3. Use a
5
/
16
” socket to undo the two bolts at the bottom corners of the door.
4. Swing door out, then lift up and out to remove.
5. Ensure the door is properly fastened after cleaning before attempting to re-light the appliance.
CLEANING THE GLASS:
When the fireplace is cool
, remove the face of the fireplace along with the glass. Check the gasket
material on the back of the glass, making sure that it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with
all fireplaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial
paint curing of the appliance can leave a slight film on the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will
need cleaning after the fireplace has gone through the first burn and about two weeks after first burn.
Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth
.
Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and plated
surfaces.
Depending on the amount of use, the glass should require cleaning no more than two or three
times a season.
Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
