Maintenance
Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs
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.
Cleaning
There are three methods of cleaning the polished stain-
less steel of your outdoor fireplace;
1. Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt film
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia
3. Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores
Regardless of which method is used, remember that
anything with too much abrasive may dull the finish.
Cleaning the Standing Pilot
Control System
The burner and control system consists of:
• main burner
• gas orifice
• pilot burner
• 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 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. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or
blow away any dust or lint accumulation 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 that the pilot
and burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting
or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8" or 1/2" of the thermopile should
be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 16)
To adjust pilot burner, turn pilot screw marked "pilot" for
proper flame size.
The air shutter is set at factory no adjustment should be
necessary.
