TDVN Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
20007636
Motor and Blower for Fan Kit (optional)
This motor has been factory oiled and under normal 
operating conditions should not require oiling.
WARNING:  Ensure the power is turned off to 
the fireplace before servicing.
Cleaning
This unit should be cleaned and serviced by a Qualified 
Gas Technician at least annually.  More frequent clean-
ing may be necessary if pet hair accumulates, dust and 
lint are present, or  if the unit is located in a high traffic 
area.  A Qualified Agency is defined in the Gas Code.
Cleaning should include burner tubes, orifice/injectors 
(refer to section B.3 National Fuel Gas Code), logs, 
ceramic base, and  pilot assembly.  It is recommended 
that the sediment trap in the gas line be emptied and 
cleaned at this time.  (Refer to Section 3.7.2 National 
Fuel Gas Code)
Burner, Pilot, Firebox and Logs
CAUTION:  Before cleaning or moving logs 
or other parts of the unit, be sure to read the 
section on important safeguards.
Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each 
year and after long periods of non-use. All cleaning 
should be carried out when the appliance is cold.
Cleaning will be required under normal use. Dusting the 
front grate or the control knob panel may be required 
occasionally. Do not use any cleaning fluids to clean the 
logs or any other part of the appliance.
If the flames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if 
the burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes 
may require cleaning. If this occurs, contact your near-
est dealer to get the appliance serviced.
Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing 
all the logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage 
them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each 
end.
Maintenance
After the logs are removed allowing access to the burn-
er area, use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust 
and loose particles from the base, logs and from around 
the burners. Gloves are recommended to prevent the 
ceramic fibers that compose the logs from pricking your 
skin. If the skin is pricked, wash gently with soap and 
water. Use extreme caution in cleaning around the pilot 
. The pilot should not be moved or altered from the orig-
inal factory setting (Pilot to burner preset location). The 
burner should  be placed back into its original locked 
and secure position after cleaning and servicing(proper 
location of burners are critical). NOTE: All replacements 
and repairs should be performed by a qualified techni-
cian (contact your nearest dealer). After cleaning and/or 
repairs, follow instructions for positioning of logs as 
illustrated on Page 23.
Glass
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. Dur-
ing startup it is normal for condensation to form on the 
glass and cause dirt,  lint, etc., to adhere to the inner 
surface of the glass. There also will be a film deposited 
on the glass during the initial use of the fireplace due 
to initial curing of the paint. It is recommended that the 
glass be cleaned with a non-abrasive household clean-
er and warm water. Be sure to rinse and dry the glass 
well as not to leave any marks. It may be necessary to 
clean the glass two to three times a season depending 
on use of the fireplace.
