Maintenance

WARNING:

Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass 

etching may cause premature glass failure.

CAUTIONS

Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position 

and pilot and main burners extinguished when cleaning 

appliance with a vacuum. 
Doors and logs can get very hot. Handle only when 

cool.

General

Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly

. The inspection 

must include, but is not limited to, the following: 

• 

  A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.

  An inspection of  the explosion relief flappers and the door  

gasketing to ensure a proper seal.  

  An inspection of the burner, venturi, and primary air openings.

• 

  An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot flame.  

For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap is supplied 

on the gas valve for a test gauge connection. See Figure 32.

• 

Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc. 

For Natural Gas

 this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure 

of 5.5" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.

For Propane Gas 

this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure 

of  11" W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
Always keep the fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, 

as well as gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. 

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water

. Immediately 

call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to 

replace any part of the control system and any gas control which 

has been under water.

Operation

Lighting Instructions

See pages 16, 17 and 18.

Burner Adjustment

The L-Series DF is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing you to 

raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the black knob 

marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure 32). 

The front burners are not adjustable.

To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the 

lower trim) 

counter-clockwise.

To lower the flame height, turn 

clockwise.

Cleaning

When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and 

a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is 

the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.

Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which is a 

normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can 

easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on page 12. 

Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive glass 

cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas", leaving 

a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. 

This can easily be removed using normal household products.
Use  a  vacuum  cleaner  or  whisk  broom  to  keep  the  control 

compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.   
Linear Burners may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove 

soot or other contaminates.

Note:

 

L-Series DF-I models (electronic ignition) do not 
feature hi/lo adjustment.
