1)  Always turn off the valve before cleaning. 

For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. 
Keep the burner and control compartment 
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least 
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a 
soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile 
and easily damaged.

Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small, probably 
yellow fl ames, not coming into proper contact 
with the rear of the burner or thermopile. 

It is possible that you will hear some sounds 
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal 
due to the fact that there are various gauges 
and types of steel used within your appliance. 
Listed below are some examples. All are normal 
operating sounds and should not be considered 
as defects in your appliance.

Blower:

 gas appliances use high tech blowers 

to push heated air farther into the room. It is not 
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound 
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease 
in volume depending on the speed setting of 
your fan speed control.

Burner Tray: 
The burner tray is positioned directly under the 
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox 
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of 
steel will expand and contract at slightly different 
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking" 
sounds. You should also be aware that as there 
are temperature changes within the unit these 
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal 
for steel fi reboxes.

Blower Thermodisc: 
When this thermally activated switch turns ON 
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the 
switch contacts closing and is normal.

Pilot Flame: 
While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very 
slight "whisper" sound.

Gas Control Valve: 
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a 
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal 
operation of a gas regulator or valve.

Unit Body/Firebox: 
Different types and thicknesses of steel will 
expand and contract at different rates resulting 
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be 
heard throughout the cycling process.

8)  Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause 

condensation and fog the glass.  This 
condensation and fog is normal and will 
disappear in a few minutes as the glass 
heats up.

9)  Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct 

fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1 
fl owing around the thermopile and 1 around 
the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the 
rear of the burner (it does not have to be 
touching the burner).

2)  Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli-

ance, and door with a damp cloth.  Never 
use an abrasive cleaner. 

3)  The heater is fi nished in a porcelain fi nish or 

with a heat resistant paint and should only 
be refi nished with heat resistant paint (not 
with wall paint). 

 

Never use an abrasive cleaner on the por-
celain fi nish as it may scratch the surface.

4)  Make a  periodic check of burner for proper 

position and condition. Visually check the 
fl ame of the burner periodically, making sure 
the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating. 
If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service 
person. 

5)  Caution: Label all wires prior to discon-

6)  The appliance and venting system must be 

inspected before use, and at least annually, 
by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure 
that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation 
air is not obstructed. 

 

During the annual service call, the burner 
should be removed from the burner tray 
and cleaned. Replace the embers but do 
not block the pilot.

7)  Keep the area near the appliance clear and 

free from combustible materials, gasoline, 
and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.
