MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This appliance and its venting system
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service person. The appliance area must
be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids. The fl ow of
combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.

1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs, rocks and/or glass to
expose both assemblies.

2. Keep the control compartment, media, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs
clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.

3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or
are not burning properly.

4. Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the fl ame sensor and/or thermocouple /
thermopile as well as reaches the burner.

5. Replace the cleaned logs, rocks or glass. Failure to properly position the media may cause carboning
which can be distributed in the surrounding living area.

6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when turned on. A 5 to 10
second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your local authorized dealer /
distributor.

WARNING

40.16

Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfi des, particularly in coastal areas
and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs. These
stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevention and
removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.

CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE:

Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on the stainless steel parts. Doing so will scratch the fi nish. Sur-
faces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless
surfaces, use a stainless steel or non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time,
stainless steel parts discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discolouration is normal
and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
