CFM Corporation A125 User Manual

It is important to keep the burner and the burner 
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and 
lava rock/ember material should be removed and the 
burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove 
and replace the logs as per the instructions in this 
manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile 
and may also be hot if the fireplace has been in  
use.

Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once 
per month in the operating season, open the lower 
louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the 
fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.

The burner and control system consists of:

• main burner 

• pilot burner 

• gas orifice 

• thermopile

• combination millivolt gas valve

Most of these components may require only an occa-
sional checkup and cleaning and some may require ad-
justment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed 
by a qualified technician.

In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, 
turn off the gas to the unit, remove the window frame 
panel and logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. 
Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner. 
Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visu-
ally inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint ac-
cumulation. If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may 
be required to remove any foreign material from the 
orifice or tubing.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative the pilot and 
burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or 
floating.
Typically, the top 1/8" of the thermopile should be en-
gulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 13, Fig. 25)

Clean the brass trim with a soft clean cloth, slightly 
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft dry cloth. 
Do not use brass polish or household cleaners as these 
products will damage the trim. Lemon oil can be ob-
tained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
