MAINTENANCE
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 22)
Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance
tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom they
should be performed. Always verify proper operation of the appliance after servicing.
WARNING: Turn off gas and electrical power to the fireplace and
allow it to cool before cleaning or
servicing the appliance.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety
glasses for protection while doing
required maintenance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adéquatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Before re-lighting the fireplace, refer to the
lighting instructions in this manual. Instructions are also found on pull-out panels
located below the glass door in the control
compartment.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and
at least annually by a qualified service technician (inspection should include ensuring that
exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed
and vent components are properly assembled
and not damaged).
If the venting system is disassembled for any
reason, a qualified service technician should
follow vent installation instructions for proper
reassembly and proper sealing of the venting
system components. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be
performed by the homeowner.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Page 7 )
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-
tion (after Burn-In period is over) and then only
when necessary and when the fireplace is cool.
Wipe surface with clean, dampened, soft cloth.
Follow with dry, soft towel as desired. Take care
not to scratch the glass surface.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to remove any build-up caused from the
following:
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when
it is hot.
• During start-up, it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass (this
condensation and fog will usually disappear in
a few minutes). The moisture can cause lint,
dust and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a film
on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a result
of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season,
depending on the circumstances present. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for
use to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar and
water
• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated firmly.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when han
dling the fiber logs, as they become quite fragile
after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter
(lint, carbon, etc). on the burner. Ensure the
burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon
deposits from the under side of the logs using
a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e.
paint brush).
Note: Improper positioning of logs can create
carbon build-up and will alter the performance
of the appliance.
Replacing Logs -
If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement,
use only the proper replacement logs from
manufacturer (see Pages 25 and 26 for order-
ing information).
Re-Install Embers and Logs - Carefully follow
placement instructions on Pages 8 thru 11.
All logs should fit onto corresponding pins
and/or log stoppers. This will ensure a proper
flame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 14
.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
(QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY)
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the flame. When the appliance
is first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the first
15 minutes of operation. If after a short period
the flame stays lowered blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter openings closed too far, sooting
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs
developing at the tips of very long orange flames.
Sooting results in black deposits forming on the
logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior
surfaces adjacent to the vent termination. Soot
ing is caused by incomplete combustion in the
flames and lack of combustion air entering the
air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellowish-orange flame with an orange body that does
not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted
between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
-
Figure 10 - Burner Flame Appearance Model MLDVT-30 & MLDVT-35
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit flames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present and
persists, adjust the air shutter to a more open
position, then operate the appliance for a few
more minutes to ensure that the flame normal
izes and the flames do not appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 min
utes while observing the flame continuously
to ensure that the proper flame appearance
has been achieved (see Figure 10 or 11). If
the following conditions are present, adjust
accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
• If flame stays lowered blue, adjust the
air shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the
ON position and the burner OFF/ON switch
OFF (and remote switches, if applicable).
5.
When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal, close the lower control

TROUBLESHOOTING THE MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting, be sure that the appliance main line gas shut-off valve, the gas control valve and the wall
switch are in the “ON” position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark igniter will not light pilot after
repeated triggering of igniter button.
WARNING: if the pilot will not light
after 1 minute of attempting, wait
for at least 5 minutes for gas to
clear before attempting again.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following the lighting
instructions.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, Valve
knob “ON,” and the (standard) burner
OFF/ON switch is “ON." Read important note below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If an optional
*remote switch is used for burner
operation, if the standard burner
OFF/ON switch is still installed on
appliance it must be in the "OFF"
position.
*Optional remote switch kits - wall
switch, wall thermostat or remote
control.
4. Frequent pilot/burner outage prob-
lem.
A. Defective igniter
(no spark at electrode).
B. Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot
(spark at electrode).
C. Gas supply pressure errant.Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits
D. Pilot orifice plugged.Clean or replace pilot orifice.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple).
A. Wall switch or wires defective.Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
B. Thermopile may not be generating suf-
ficient millivolts.
C. Plugged burner orifice.Check burner orifice for blockage and remove.
D. OFF/ON Switch and *Remote Switch are
in the "ON" position resulting in excessive
resistance.
A. Pilot flame may be too low or blowing (high)
causing the pilot/valve safety to drop out.
Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and
electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot
and trigger the igniter button again. If pilot lights, an
improper gas mixture caused the bad lighting and
a longer purge period is recommended. If pilot will
not light – check gap at electrode and pilot – should
be 1/8" to have a strong spark. If gap measures 1/8",
replace pilot (see
as marked on the rating plate.
Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermocouple
Figure 13 on Page 13). Clean and/or adjust pilot
(see
for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple.
Ensure that the connection between the valve and
thermocouple are tight and secure.
Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper
wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes
on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading
at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read
325 millivolts minimum with optional wall switch
“OFF.” Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below
specified minimum.
When turning on the burner using a *remote switch,
ensure that the standard OFF/ON switch is in the "OFF"
position. If both switches are in the ON position, it may
result in excessive resistance (and millivolt drainage)
and the burner may not come on.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple (see
Page 13).
