Maintenance And Service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance, may result in property damage or personal injury.
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything (see Figure 4). The pilot flame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualified agency.
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior to operating the
appliance.

. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that
it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all
fireplaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint
curing of the appliance can leave a slight film behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need
cleaning after the fireplace has cooled off from the first burn and about two weeks after first burn. Use
a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and plated
surfaces. Depending on the amount of use, the glass should require cleaning no more than two or three
times a season. Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
C LEANING T HE F IREBOX AND B URNER :
Remove the logs carefully, as they are very fragile. Gently remove all the embers and rock wool and place
on a paper towel. Vacuum the bottom of the firebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and
remove any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner pan for cracking or severe
warping. If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration or large amounts
of soot; a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and embers as in the

required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass from the door must be done by a licensed or qualified service
person. The glass in the fireplace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way,
a factory replacement is required (see P

). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door
assembly to prevent personal injury. When the glass door assembly is being transported, it must be
wrapped in newsprint and tape and/or a strong plastic bag. The glass must be purchased from an
ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials are allowed.
C LEANING T HE P LATED S URFACES :
Painted faces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically. If a plated face has been purchased, it
should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting anything on the surface of the finish, including
cleaners, polish and finger prints. It is important to note that fingerprints and other marks can leave
a permanent stain on plated finishes. To avoid this, give the face a quick wipe with denatured
alcohol on a soft cloth BEFORE lighting the fireplace. Never clean the face when it is hot. Do
not use other cleaners as they may leave a residue, which can become permanently etched into the
surface.
