MAINTENANCE

The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualiﬁ ed service technician. However, more frequent periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner. Homeowner must contact a qualiﬁ ed service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.

Refer to the maintenance schedule on Page 6 for maintenance tasks, procedures, recommended frequency and by whom they should be performed. Always verify proper operation of the appliance after servicing.

Always turn off the gas and unplug the power cord to the appliance before cleaning. Before re-lighting, 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.

Keep lower control compartment clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is important that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

WARNING

Turn off gas and electrical power before servicing the appliance.

CAUTION

Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection while doing required maintenance

IMPORTANT

Always verify proper operation after servicing.

Check Burner Flame Appearance

Visually check the ﬂ ame of the burner periodically making sure the ﬂ ames are steady and not lifting or ﬂ oating (see Figure 13 on Page 7).

Glass Cleaning

Note: Clean glass after ﬁ rst two weeks of operation (after Burn-In period is over).

The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to remove any build-ups caused from the following:

• 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). This 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 ﬁ lm 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.

Use one of the following to clean glass:

• Non-ammonia based household cleaner

• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar & water

• gas stove glass cleaner

IMPORTANT

Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when it is hot.

WARNING

Do not attempt to touch the front enclosure glass with your hands while the ﬁ replace is in use.
