is very important that control compartments,
burners, circulating air passageways and air
venturi on the appliance are NOT obstructed
in any way.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Pages 7 & 8) Note: Clean glass
after first two weeks of operation (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 (on next page):
Gas
Outlet
Gas
Inlet
It
5
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 & water
• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panel. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated firmly.
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.
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 manufac
turer (see Page 23 for ordering information).
6
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Volcanic Stone
- Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 8 to 10 ). All logs should fit onto cor
responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 12.
WARNING
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.

Outside Combustion Air Controls
WARNING
Do not operate the shutoff lever
unless a complete outside COMBUSTION air system has been
installed with your appliance.
Many appliances are equipped, when installed,
with an outside (make-up air) vent system that
is designed to provide the appliance with outside
make-up air for combustion when in operation.
The combustion air control lever for the outside
air system is standard on all appliances but
should not be operated if the complete system
is not installed. Refer to Figures 9 & 10. When
the complete outside air vent system is installed,
the installer will remove the securing screw from
the combustion air control lever located on the
left side of the fireplace bottom opening.
If the securing screw has not been removed
and you have reason to believe that you have
a complete outside air system, contact your
distributor to have your appliance inspected for
the presence of the complete system. DO NOT
assume that you have this system in place.
Operate the actuator through several cycles
including the closed position. Ensuring proper
operation and freedom of movement. Return
the actuator arm to the closed position.
To open the outside air shutter, remove the bottom
louvered control comartement door, reach into
control compartment and pull the combustion air
control lever all the way out. The outside air shutter
should be fully open when the fireplace is in use
and completely closed when the fireplace is not
being used. Closing it when not in use will prevent
outside cold air from entering the dwelling.
