PILOT AND BURNERS

• Remove ember material before cleaning

burners and replace when cleaning is

with compressed air to remove dust, dirt
or lint.

brush to remove excess dust, dirt or lint.

LOGS

• If you remove logs for cleaning, refer to

Installing Lava Rock and Glowing Embers,
page 26, to properly replace logs.

carbon buildup on logs.

VENTING SYSTEM

Conduct annual inspection of venting system
following these guidelines:
1. Check areas of venting system that are

exposed to the weather for corrosion (rust
spots or streaks and, in extreme cases,
holes). Have these items replaced im-
mediately by a qualified service person.

2. Remove vent cap and shine a flashlight

into vent. Remove any foreign material.

3. Check for evidence of excessive con-

densation. Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipes and fittings
and can be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows or exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.

4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe section

or fitting has been disturbed and loos-
ened. Check mechanical supports such
as wall straps for rigidity.
