Cleaning and Maintenance

General

• Have the fireplace and installation inspected yearly. The inspection must include, butis not limited to, the following:
  • Avisual check of the entire vent system and termination, where accessible.
  • An inspection of the explosion relief flappers and the door gaskets to ensure a proper seal.
  • Aninspection of the burner, vent run, and primary air openings.
  • Aninspection of the gasvalve, gas components, and pilot flame.
  • For your convenience a 1/8″ manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve for a test gauge connection.
  • Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, remote control lights, etc.
• For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 5.5″ W.C. and a manifold pressure of 3.5″ W.C.
• For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 11″ W.C. and a manifold pressure of 10″ W.C.
• Always keepthe fireplace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well as gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
• Immediately calla qualified servicetechnician toinspectthe appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
• Inspection of glass doors and screen for damage and proper installation.

Cleaning
When the fireplace is first activated, there may be some smoke 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. Handle the door carefully, and clean it with non-abrasive, non-ammonia based glass cleaners. One of the most effective products is Kel-Kem.
• During the initial firing, Silicone seals will “off gas”, leaving a visual deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be removed using normal household products.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner, and firebox free from dust and lint.

Pilot Burner Adjustment.

1. Locate Pilot Adjustment Screw. (See figure 28)
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame as shown.
3.  After installing or servicing, leak test with a soap solution with main burneron. Coat pipe and tubingjoints, gasket etc. with soap solution. Bubblesindicate leaks. Tighten any areaswhere the bubbles appear until the bubbling stops completely.

NOTICE
Do not use ammonia or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace cleaner such as Kel-Kem or White off.

1. Inspect and operate the pressure relief mechanism to verify relief mechanisms are free from obstruction to operate.
2. Clean glass window with a suitable fireplace glass cleaner. Abrasive cleaners must not be used. Be careful not to scratch the glass when cleaning.
3. Inspect the operation of the flame safety system Pilot or Flame rectification device.
4. Inspect and ensure the lighting of the main burner occurs within 4 seconds of the main gas valve opening. Visual inspection should match that outlined in the appliance instruction manual. Inspect primary air openings for blockage.
5. Inspect condition of vent and vent terminal for sooting or obstruction and correct if present.
6. Vacuum and clean any debris in the firebox that is not supposed to be there.
7. Test and measure the flame failure response time of the flame safety system. It must de-energize the safety shutoff in no more than 30 seconds.
8. Check all accessible gas-carrying tubes, connections, pipes and other components for eaks.

POD – Pilot on Demand

What is POD mode?
This appliance is equipped with an “On Demand”” intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI) which also includes a continuous pilot ignition (CPI) mode with an integrated seven day timer.
InIPImode, the pilotwilllight before the main burner, when the appliance isturned on using a wall switch, remote or from a thermostat. Once the appliance is turned off, the main burner and pilot flame will shut down.
The continuous (CPI) mode exists to ease the startup phase in colder climates by keeping the firebox and venting warm when the main burner is not in use. The timer automatically switches off the pilot when the appliance has not been used for seven days.
When the CPI function is turned on, the pilot will remain on after the fireplace is turned off. A timer will then begin the countdown for approximatelyseven (7)days before shutting off the pilotif the appliance is not used. This countdown will reset anytime the burner is use.
If your appliance is equipped with a remote control device capable of selecting IPI / CPI modes, refer to remote operating instructions.
In order to start your pilot, turning the main burner on with the switch, remote or thermostat and then turning it off will reactivate the continuous pilot mode and reset the seven day timer.
Ajumper is supplied with this unit that can be plugged into the wire harness connected to the controller. This jumper cable gives the Remote Control the ability to operate the POD / IPI switch and set the unit to operate in either condition. Please refer to jumper installation instructions for more information.

Remote Continuous Pilot (CPI) Selection
Requires installation of the CPl JUMPER
With the system in “off” position press the Mode Key, to index to the CPI mode icon, Pressing the Up Arrow Key will activate the Continuous Pilot Ignition mode (CPI). Pressing the Down Arrow Key will return to IPI. A single “beep” will confirm the reception of the command.

Installing the POD Jumper Cable

1. Access the control box.
2. Remove the bag containing the Jumper Cable from the wire harness connected to the controller.
