MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Always shut off the gas supply and make sure that the heater is cool before starting
any servicing operation.
2. Always check for leaks after servicing.
3. Always check for correct combustion and ventilation air flow. The flow of combustion
air and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
4. Always check that the appliance area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
PERIODIC CHECKS
1. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year.
2. The flame pattern should be checked periodically. The flame color should be blue with yellow tips.
If needed adjust the air shutter to provide a proper flame. See Figure F.
3. A qualified service person should Inspect the appliance vent system prior to use and at least
annually, to ensure that the flow of combustion air is not obstructed.
4. If you are unsure how to perform these maintenance procedures have a qualified field service
person check the unit at least annually.
NOTE:
During the first few fires the odor of paint or oils remaining from manufacturing are likely to
release an odor. This is normal and will stop as soon as the paint has cured.
5. If for any reason a log should break it must be replaced with the same log. See the log diagram
for the exact replacement log needed. The position of the logs must be as shown in the diagram.
CARE OF FINISH
1. The matte black finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If the finish becomes marred or
scratched it may require touch up spraying. Use Stove Bright Flat Black spray. This is available
from your dealer or from Malm direct.
2. If your unit is porcelain enamel use any glass cleaner to wipe the unit clean. Minor scratches can
be polished with most nonabrasive auto polish. If the porcelain should become chipped or
severely damaged an enamel touch up is available from your dealer or Malm direct.
