Flame Check

A periodic visual check of the ﬂames should be made. The pilot

ﬂame should always be present when the appliance is in opera-

tion. (Fig. 10)

In normal operation (at full rate for approximately 15 minutes)

the following ﬂame appearance should be observed:

When installed in a wood burning ﬁreplace, the heat output

from the appliance can be controlled by the position of the ﬂue

damper if it is installed in a wood-burning ﬁreplace.

The damper setting should be fully closed for maximum heat

output, partially closed for less heat output and fully open for

minimum heat output.

The appliance may be used in a working solid fuel burning ﬁre-

place with the ﬂue damper closed only if unvented appliances

are permitted by local state and city codes. It may also be

Cleaning

CAUTION: Before cleaning or moving logs or other parts of the

unit, be sure to read the section on important safeguards.

Cleaning should be done before the logs are used each year

and after long periods of non-use.

All cleaning should be carried out when the appliance is cold.

Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use. Dust-

ing the front grate or the control knob panel may be required

occasionally. Do not use any cleaning ﬂuids to clean the logs or

any other part of the appliance.

If the ﬂames show any unusual shapes or behavior, or if the

burners fail to ignite properly, then the burner holes may require

cleaning. If this occurs contact your nearest dealer to get the

appliance serviced.

Main BurnerFlame: The ﬂame should be yellow in color and

should extend about 6 inches above the large front log.

Typical ﬂame shape as seen in Figure 11.

NOTE: For your safety, the appliance is equipped with an

oxygen depletion system. The system senses the oxygen in the

atmosphere and switches off the gas supply in case the level of

oxygen falls below a safe level. It must not be altered in any

way.

Managing Heat Output

operated as a decorative appliance whose prime function lies in

the aesthetic effect of the ﬂames when installed in a solid fuel

burning ﬁreplace with the ﬂue damper open. If unvented heat-

ers are not permitted, the ﬁreplace vent damper must be locked

at a minimum vent area of 15 sq. ins.

Whenever the appliance is operated with the ﬁreplace's ﬂue

damper closed, glass doors - if present - must be open and

the outside air damper and the ash dump (if the ﬁreplace is

equipped with either one) must be closed.

Maintenance

Alternatively, the appliance can be cleaned by removing the top,

front and rear logs. Handle the logs gently so as not to damage

them. Always lift each log by holding it carefully at each end.

After the logs are removed allowing access to the burner area,

use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dust, spider webs

and loose particles from the base, logs and from around the

burner. Gloves are recommended to prevent the ceramic ﬁbers

that compose the logs from pricking your skin. If the skin is

pricked, wash gently with soap and water. Use extreme cau-

tion in clearing around the pilot (ODS). The pilot should not be

moved or altered from the original factory setting (Pilot to burner

preset location). The burner should not be removed or taken

out of it's locked and secure position (proper location of burners

are critical).
