Cleaning and Maintenance / Main Burner
Warning: Turn off heater and let cool before cleaning
After use, cleaning of the main burner may be required for the
proper flame. The main burner may be cleaned by applying air
pressure to the ports on the main burner.
Cleaning the Log Set and Firebox
During the annual inspection and maintenance appointment, the
service person should clean dust, lint, and any light accumulation
from the logs and the firebox area. An extra-soft brush should be
used on the logs as they are extremely fragile; a vacuum cleaner
may be used on the firebox. If at any time the logs cannot be
removed or installed without forcing, the cause must be found.
The logs must never be forced.
CAUTION: The ceramic logs are durable when handled and
installed properly. However, they are delicate and may be damaged
easily if not handled with care. Handling damage to the ceramic
logs is not covered by warranty.
DO NOT HANDLE LOGS WHILE THEY ARE HOT. ALLOW
PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE APPLIANCE TO COOL COM-
PLETELY BEFORE HANDLING.
PLEASE NOTE
It is normal for appliances fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noised during the start
up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your
furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
