CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Shut off unit including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on orifice holder for dust and dirt (See Fig. 24).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.
4. Check the orifice holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles
of dust, dirt, lint or pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the orifice holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot
assembly. There is a small pilot air inlet hole about 2" from where the pilot flame comes out of
the pilot assembly (see Figure 25 depending on model). With the unit off, lightly blow air through
the air inlet hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed air is not available.
*We recommend that you clean the unit every three months during operation and have fireplace inspected
yearly by a qualified service person. Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean may
result in sooting and property damage.
