Cleaning

WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN THE UNIT WHEN HOT.

The unit should receive regular cleaning on, under,

and around the stove to prevent the buildup of dust

and lint. The exterior surfaces of the unit can be

cleaned using soap, water, and a soft cloth. Do not

use abrasive or chemical cleaners and take care not

to scratch the glass or enamel finish (if so equipped)

when cleaning the unit. The use of chemical wax

based cleaners or polishes are not recommended

due to the potential for discoloration of the castings,

or enamel when the residue of the cleaners or

polishes is exposed to heat. Excessive buildup of

dust, spider webs, or room air contamination may

cause odors when the stove is hot.

Monthly (or as needed):

Glass Cleaning

As fuel gas may contain some impurities; it will be

necessary to clean the inside of the glass

occasionally. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Scratching the glass will weaken the integrity of the

glass.

Do not clean the glass when hot!

Allow the

glass to cool and apply a mild window cleaning fluid.

Special gas appliance window cleaner is available

from your local Hearthstone dealer.

Annually:

Clean Firebox, Pilot, & Burner Assembly

The firebox requires periodic cleaning to prevent the

accumulation of dust, lint, and other debris. To clean

the firebox, set the switch to the “OFF” position, and

turn off the gas supply to the valve. When the unit is

cool, remove the front panel and glass (see page 9

for Firebox Access instructions) and carefully

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 20.

Check to ensure a proper flame is burning from each

burner port. The pilot flame should be burning

properly as shown in

Figure 17.

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 switch to
“OFF”, and turning off the gas supply to the
valve. Allow the unit to cool.

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 25-27. Reattach the glass to seal the firebox

and install front/top castings. Turn on the gas, light

the unit and check for proper operation. Flame

patterns should look similar to the flames in
