Operating Your
Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame
supervision device which will shut-off the gas supply
if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat
from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool, the device will
prevent any gas flow unless manually lighting the pilot.
See full lighting instructions on page 30 of this manual.
Cleaning
Important - Glass cleaning - Mineral deposits
One of the by-products of the combustion process in
a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a
white film on the ceramic glass of the viewing door.
The composition of the deposit varies widely from
various locations and also from time to time in the
same location. It seems this is associated with the
varying sulfur content of the gas. You may have the
problem for a time and then not see it for many months
when it will reappear in your area.
Performance of LPG appliances may be affected by
the quality of commercial gas supplied in your area.
We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass
manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive
answer to this problem. Dealers have tried various
cleaning products with varying results. The following
recommendations will not guarantee results in your
particular case.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Miles Industries’
control and is not covered under warranty.
• Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice
the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a longer
period of time, it will bake on. It is then much harder,
if not impossible, to remove.
• NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic
glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the
immediate effect of compromising the strength of the
glass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
• Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the
glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to
ceramic glass and should be avoided.
• Our dealers have had good results from the
products listed below. We cannot, however,
guarantee the results of these products.
