MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1)

  Always turn off the gas valve and tank before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by 

brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the twigs, use a soft clean paint brush as the twigs are fragile and easily damaged.

2)

  Clean off leaves etc. before burning.

3)  

Clean appliance with a damp cloth (never when unit is hot).  Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a outdoor decorative gas 

appliance glass cleaner.

4

)  Hand and fi nger marks should be cleaned off with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner.  Most stainless steel cleaners leave a fi lm/

      residue on the surface of the panels.  Use an ammonia based cleaner (ie. glass cleaner) to remove this fi lm before applying heat to the unit.
      Failure to do this will result in burn stains on panels which you will be unable to remove. 

5

)      Make a  periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure the fl ames are 

steady; not lifting or fl oating. If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service person. 

6)

  The appliance must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation 

air is not obstructed.

7)

   Do not use this appliance if the valve and/or electronic components have been or are submerged under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician 

to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.  This is not covered under the 
terms of the warranty policy.

8)

  Verify operation after servicing.
