INSPECTING bURNERS

Continued

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating.

Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit

and will vary depending on installation type and

weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly,

the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger-

ous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure

proper installation and performance.

Figure 50 shows a typical flame pattern.

If burner flame pattern differs from that de-

scribed:

• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-

pliance, page 28)

• see Troubleshooting, page 33

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off fireplace

and let cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: You must keep con-

trol areas, burners and circulating

air passageways of fireplace clean.

Inspect these areas of fireplace

before each use. Have fireplace

inspected yearly by a qualified

service person. Fireplace may

need more frequent cleaning due

to excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, pet hair, etc.

GLASS DOOR

WARNING: Handle glass door

panel with care. Do not strike, slam

or otherwise abuse glass. Do not

operate fireplace with the glass

door unlatched, removed, cracked

or broken.

WARNING: Do not use abra-

sive cleaners as this may damage

glass. Use a nonabrasive house-

hold glass cleaner to clean glass.

Do not clean glass when hot.

Glass must be cleaned periodically. During start-up

it is normal for condensation to form on the inside

of the glass causing lint, dust and other airborne

particles to cling to the glass surface. During initial

start-up a slight film may form on the glass due to

paint curing. The glass should be cleaned several

times with a non-ammonia, nonabrasive household

cleaner and warm water after the first two weeks of

operation. Thereafter, clean the glass two or three

times during each heating season, depending on the

usage and circumstances present. Refer to Remov-

ing/Replacing Glass Door, page 25 of this manual

when removing glass door for cleaning.

WARNING: Only parts sup-

plied by the manufacturer should

be used when replacing broken

or damaged glass door panel

(see Replacement Parts, page

37). This glass door panel is

a complete unit. No substitute

materials may be used.

CAUTION: Wear gloves and

safety glasses while handling

or removing broken glass. Do

not remove if glass is hot. Keep

children and pets away from

glass.

If glass has been broken, carefully remove glass

door (see Removing/Replacing Glass Door, page

25). Vacuum all glass pieces with a shop vac.
