General
Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The

• A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
• An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door
gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
• An inspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.

flame. For your convenience a 1/8" manifold pressure tap
is supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.

and liquids.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoking and
a visible film may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is
the result of burning of protective coatings on new metal.
Glass must be cleaned periodically to remove any film (which
is a normal by-product of combustion) which may be visible.
Film can easily be removed by removing the door, as shown on
Page 21. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with nonabrasive
glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel Kem.
Silicone seals on inner door during initial firing will "off gas",
leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion
chamber walls. This can easily be removed from the chamber
walls using normal household products.
Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control
compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.
Logs may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot
or other contaminates.
Hi-Lo Burner Adjustment: (SIT Nova 820)�

raise or lower the flames. To adjust the flames, locate the black knob
marked 'Hi-Lo', in the centre of the gas control valve (See Figure 29).
To raise the flame height, turn the black knob (located behind the
lower control compartment) counter-clockwise.
To lower the flame height, turn clockwise.
