CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Keep the area around the log set clean and clear of debris.
• Once every year a qualified agency or certified chimney sweep should examine and clean
the venting system of the fireplace.
At the beginning of each season, the system should be checked as follows:
1. Check the chimney flue/vent pipe to ensure that the flue is drawing properly. This will also
check if any vent pipe connections are tight.
2. Check to see that the chimney/vent termination have no blockages.
3. Check the chimney and/or vents for creosote and soot build-up and clean if necessary.
4. Inspect the burners and pilot (if applicable).
The burner system has been previously adjusted for proper operation at the factory. No adjust-
ment is necessary, other than pilot flame or altitude de-rate.
SOOTING & CLEANING LOGS
Occasional sooting of your log set is common, adding to the appearance of real burned wood. If
excessive sooting is occurring and accumulates, the logs can be cleaned using either of the fol-
lowing options:
A. Spray the logs with clean water while they are burning and hot. The soot will burn and lift off.
B. Brush the soot off with a stiff brush while the logs are cool. While using a brush, do not use
water or soot cleaners.
ACCESSORIES
Purchase these fireplace accessories from your local dealer. If they can not supply these
accessories, contact customer service department for information.
Note: Moisture may cause the granules and Glowing Embers in your burner pan to settle. To
return the flame to the original condition and improve the burn, follow these tips.
a. Settling of sand (or vermiculite) - Using a screwdriver or flat-blade knife, carefully stir the
granules, loosening the material. Clear up any spills.
b. Embers - Break up any clumps (where used) - Inspect control and pilot to be sure it is free
of dirt or debris.
