MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM

Under normal use this appliance will require only limited cleaning. Constant airflow through this appliance will cause dust to collect on the burners, base and logs. An excessive build up of dust can cause the pilot and burners to operate incorrectly and produce high levels of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas.

To clean the burner and base, turn the control to OFF and allow the system to cool down. Remove top logs and front log very carefully. Vacuum or brush away all dust and lint from the system. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the logs or any other part of the appliance.

Replace the logs in their proper positions and relight the pilot. At least once a year, the log set and all gas piping should be inspected by a qualified service person.

GUIDELINES FOR APPLICATION/MAINTENANCE OF ODS PILOTS

Technical Application:

1. For accurate and consistent ODS intervention (cutoff) performance, the applied ODS must always be connected to a control valve having a preferred dropout rating of 80mA and not less than 65mA.

2. Proper connection of thermocouple to gas safety valve is made by tightening the connection nut by hand and then turning it 1/4 turn using the proper sized wrench. Do not over tighten as damage to safety valve may result.

3. Recommended connection of the pilot tubing to the ODS is made by using two proper sized wrenches: one to tighten and one to hold the device. While tightening the connections do not stress the pilot. Do not use thread sealant, tape or rubber gaskets.

4. Misplacement of the gas logs could effect the temperature of the thermocouple and cause the pilot not to perform as intended.

5. The location of the ODS must allow complete burner ignition in the time allowed by applicable standard at the extremes of the manufacturing tolerances.

6. CAUTION: Never use a wire, needle or similar object to clean ODS/Pilot. This can damage the ODS/Pilot unit.

The ODS pilots comply with current safety standards. Nevertheless, their installations on appliances must be verified in accordance with

the specific standard for each appliance. Do not tamper with sealed components or remove marking.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF AN ODS PILOT

Periodic cleaning and maintenance are critical to insure continued proper functioning of the ODS.

The consumer may:

1. Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris (usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fiber, etc.). Remove with a vacuum or soft brush.

A qualified technician may:

1. Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris (usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fiber, etc.) Remove with a vacuum or soft brush.

2. Using clean and dry (low pressure) compressed air, send the compressed air through the injector in the same direction as the gas flow. DO NOT reverse the air flow. DO NOT attempt removal of debris with any other device, or permanent damage to the injector may result.

If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot with the exact code (part number). This device is tamper resistant and has no field serviceable parts.
