NOTE: Do not operate the unit for more
than 1-2 minutes without the log set in
place. Turn the unit off by setting the
thermostat to “OFF”, and turning the gas
control valve off. Allow the unit to cool.
Check and clean any burner ports that were
not burning properly or at all. Clean burner
ports using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
If the pilot flame height needs adjustment it
should be adjusted by a qualified service
technician as described in the Initial
Adjustments section of this manual.
Complete the cleaning procedure by
carefully placing the log set within the
firebox as described in the Log Set
Information section of this manual. Fasten
the front façade on. Turn on the gas, light
the unit and check for proper operation.
Flame patterns should look like Figure 13.
Regularly check to insure the area around
the Stowe is kept free and clear from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Check that
the flow of combustion and ventilation air is
not obstructed.
Once a year the unit and its venting
system should be inspected by a qualified
service technician to ensure that it is
clean, free of obstruction, safe, and in
good working order. If service or
maintenance is required, a qualified
service technician should perform it.

LEANING THE
G
LASS
If operating on propane, it may be necessary
to clean the inside of the glass occasionally.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or
a razor blade. Scratching the glass will
weaken the integrity of the glass. Your
dealer will usually stock a gas fireplace
glass cleaner or a window cleaning fluid will
work adequately.
Do not clean when hot!
¦
WARNING:
Do not operate this
appliance with the glass panel removed,
cracked or broken. A licensed or
qualified service technician should do
replacement of the glass assembly.
Contact your authorized dealer for
replacement glass.
NOTE:
If the vent-air system is
disassembled for any reason, re-install per
the instructions provided in the Venting
section of this manual.
