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 instal-
lation type and weather conditions.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift
or "ghost". This can be dangerous. Inspect the flames after instal-
lation to ensure proper installation and performance.
Figure 51 shows a typical flame pattern.
If burner flame pattern differs from that described:
• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24)
• see Troubleshooting, page 27

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame. Altera-
tions may have occurred during shipping and handling. The pilot
is located on the left hand side of the burner.
The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/sensor and
grounding stem.
If your pilot assembly does not meet these requirements:
• Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease
or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see
Figure 48, page 24). Do not remove the adjustment screw.
• see Troubleshooting, page 27

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: You must keep control 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 mate-
rial, 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 abrasive cleaners as this
may damage glass. Use a nonabrasive household 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 circum-
stances present. Refer to Removing/Replacing Glass Door on page
20 of this manual when removing glass door for cleaning.
WARNING: Only parts supplied by the manu-
facturer should be used when replacing broken or
damaged glass door panel (see Replacement Parts,
page 29). This glass door panel is a complete unit.
No substitute materials may be used.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety glasses while han-
dling 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 Remov-
ing/Replacing Glass Door , page 20). Vacuum all glass pieces with
a shop vac.
CAUTION: Do not vacuum if pieces are hot.
