remove the decorative ceramic log set, taking care
not to damage the logs or chip the enamel cast iron.
Remove all ember material. Clean the firebox baffle,
burner, and carefully vacuum the entire surface of
the log set with a soft brush attachment. Thoroughly
vacuum the ports (holes) along the top of the burner,
and the pilot assembly.
With the decorative ceramic logs out of the firebox,
reseal the firebox and briefly light the unit according
to the lighting instructions described on page 21.
Check to ensure a proper flame is burning from each
burner port. The pilot flame should be burning
properly as well.
NOTE: Do not operate the unit for more than
1-2 minutes without the log set in place.
Check and clean any burner ports that are not
burning, or not burning properly. Clean burner ports
using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. If the pilot
flame height needs adjustment, it should be adjusted
by qualified service personnel as described on page
21.
Complete the cleaning procedure by carefully
placing the log set within the firebox as described on
pages 19-20. Reattach the glass and front panel to
seal the firebox. Turn on the gas, light the unit and
check for proper operation. Flame patterns should
look similar to the flames in Figure 21. Regularly
check to ensure the area around the Champlain is
kept free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids. Check that the
flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.
Professional Inspection
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified
service person. More frequent cleaning may be
required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control
compartments,
burners
and
circulating
air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
L’installation et la réparation devrait être confiées à
un technicien qualifié. L’appareil devrait faire l’objet
d’une inspection par un technicien professionnel
av
ant d’être utilisé et au moins une fois l’an par la
suite. Des nettoyages plus fréquents peuvent être
nécessaires si les tapis, la literie, et cetera
produisent une quantité importante de poussière. Il
est essentiel que les compartiments abritant les
commandes, les brûleurs et les conduits de
circulation d’air de l’appareil soient tenus propres.
As Needed:
Glass and Gasket Replacement
In the event that you need to repair or replace a
cracked or broken glass, order kit 93-58015
(complete glass assembly with frame) and use the
following instructions to replace the components.
Your Champlain uses a folded flat fiberglass gasket
to make a tight seal between the glass frame and
the firebox. In time, the gasket can become brittle
and compressed and should be replaced using the
following instructions. New gasket material is also
available from your Authorized Hearthstone Dealer.
Protect your hands with work gloves, and wash up
later.
1. Allow the Champlain to cool completely. If the
glass is severely broken, first pull the broken
fragments of glass away from the firebox using
heavy-duty gloves.
2. Follow the instructions for removing the front
glass described in Firebox Access on page 9.
Remove the glass from the glass frame by
drilling out the four 1/8” rivets that lock the glass
in place. Pull the glass away from the frame and
set it aside.
If replacing gasket only:
1. Remove the existing gasket from the glass by
grasping one end and pulling firmly. Clean off as
much of the hanging fiber “hairs” as possible
2. Locate t
he 3/4” x 1/16” flat tape gasket. Peel the
adhesive protecting paper away from one end.
Starting at the center of the long end of the glass
apply the gasket centered on the edge of the
glass. Continue to wrap the gasket around the
edge until you meet at the starting point. Do not
overlap the gasket ends or leave ends with
ragged edges.
3. Firmly and evenly, fold the gasket around the
edges of the glass so it lies flat on the surface.
4. Place the gasket back in the glass frame. With
four new 1/8” rivets replace the 2 glass clips.
The glass and frame are now ready to be placed
back on the unit.
If replacing entire glass with kit:
1. Apply gasket to new glass as describe in steps
2-3 above.
