Recommended areas to inspectas follows:1) Check the Venting System for corrosion inareas that are exposed to the elements.These will appear as rust spots orstreaks, and in extreme cases, holes.These components should be replacedimmediately.2) Remove the Termination Cap, and shine aflashlight down the Vent. Remove any birdnests, or other foreign material.3) Check for evidences of excessivecondensation, such as water droplets formingin the inner liner, and subsequently drippingout the joints. Continuous condensation cancause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings.It may be caused by having excessivelateral runs, too many elbows, and exteriorportions of the system being exposed tocold weather.4) Inspect joints to verify that no pipesections or fittings have been disturbed,and consequently loosened. Also checkmechanical supports such as Wall Straps,or plumbers' tape for rigidity.LOG REPLACEMENTThe unit should never be used with broken logs.Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to coolbefore opening door to carefully remove thelogs. The pilot light generates enough heat toburn someone. If for any reason a log shouldneed replacement, you must use the properreplacement log. The position of these logsmust be as shown in the diagram under LogInstallation.NOTE: Improper positioning of logs maycreate carbon build-up and will alter the unit’sperformance which is not covered underwarranty.GLASS GASKETIf the glass gasket requires replacement usea tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part #936-155).Top View of pilot flameIncorrect flame pattern will have small, probablyyellow flames, not coming into proper contactwith the rear of the burner or thermopile.6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may causecondensation and fog the glass.
