CLEANING PROCEDURE
{GLASS AND BURNER COMPARTMENT}
Periodic cleaning of the glass will be necessary.
Frequency of cleaning will depend on fireplace usage.
a.) Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position. This
will extinguish the flame and allow the unit to
cool.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE FIRE-
PLACE WHEN IT IS HOT!
b.) Carefully remove glass pieces. Use caution as
glass edges may be sharp
NOTE: IN CASE OF BROKEN GLASS, RE-
PLACEMENT GLASS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY
CANADIAN HEATING PRODUCTS INC. OR
THE DEALER/DISTRIBUTOR IN YOUR AREA.
c.) Be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner on the glass.
d.) Remove the logs and vacuum thoroughly in and
around burner compartment.
NOTE: WHEN CLEANING BURNERS,
ALWAYS ENSURE THE GAS HAS BEEN
SHUT OFF
e.) Logs may be cleaned periodically with soap and
water
f.) Prior to replacing the logs, relight the pilot and
start the main burner.
1.) Check to see that all burner ports are burning
2.) Check to see that the pilot flame is large
enough to engulf the thermopile
3.) Check to see that the main burner ignites
instantaneously on all ports when the valve
has been turned on
4.) When these checks have been completed, shut
down the burner and pilot and reinstall the logs
g.) Replace the glass
h.) Check periodically that the vent system is unre-
stricted and a proper draft is present when the unit
is in operation. All vented appliances require a
source of fresh air in order to vent properly.
Recent trends in home improvement and new
tighter construction techniques have contributed to
problems with chimney venting properly. If you
suspect your fireplace is not venting properly, do
not operate the appliance. Seek advice from a
qualified professional to determine the cause of
the problem and find a solution before restarting
the appliance.
i.) Keep appliance area clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours
and liquids.
j.) WARNING: DO NOT BURN RUBBISH OF
ANY KIND IN THIS APPLIANCE.
8./ TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the fireplace fails to light or appears to be
operating abnormally, do not tamper with it.
Contact a licensed service person, the dealer or
distributor in your area.
To identify the problem with appliance, you can check
the following:
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Noisy pilot flame Remove pilot adjuster cap
located next to the gas shut off
valve. Flame is decreased by
turning adjustment screw
clockwise.
Pilot won't ignite Make sure that the wire at the
back of the Piezo ignitor button
is properly attached. Push the
igniter button several times,
holding in gas control valve
knob.
If pilot still will not ignite,
remove glass panel and the logs
and try lighting pilot with a
match. If pilot now lights then
the piezo igniter is faulty.
Main burner will Make sure valve control knob is
not light in the "ON" position.
Make sure burner switch is on
(ON/OFF switch on side of
backplate).
Check for loose wire connection
at the gas valve. NOTE: this is
a sensitive millivolt circuit and
the pilot or burner will go out if
terminals are loose or acciden
tally grounded.
Flame Cycles High limit switch is activating.
Vent Blocked: Clear flue
passage
Severe Downdraft Check combustion air supply
source of energy causing a
negative condition within the
home.
