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 Cap, and shine a flashlightdown the Vent. Remove any bird nests, orother 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 and carefully remove thelogs.

The position of these logsmust be as shown in the diagrams under LogInstallation.Note: Improper positioning of logs maycreate carbon build-up and willseverely alter the unit's performancewhich is not covered underwarranty.
