Maintaining and Servicing Your Fireplace

Fireplace Maintenance

Although the frequency of your fireplace servicing and main-

tenance will depend on use and the type of installation, you

should have a qualified service technician perform an appli-

ance check-up at the beginning of each heating season.

See the table below for specific guidelines regarding each

fireplace maintenance task.

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING

YOUR FIREPLACE.

Replacing old ember material

Frequency: Once annually, during the checkup.

By: Qualified service technician.

Task: Brush away loose ember material near the burner.

Replace old ember material with new dime-size and shape

pieces. New ember material should be placed on top of the

burner. Save the remaining ember material and repeat this

procedure at your next servicing. For more information, see

Placing Ember Material.

Cleaning Burner and Controls

Frequency: Once annually.

By: Qualified service technician.

Task: Brush or vacuum the control compartment, fireplace

logs and burner areas surrounding the logs.

Checking Flame Patterns, Flame Height

Frequency: Periodically.

By: Qualified service technician/Home owner.

Task: Make a visual check of your fireplace’s flame patterns.

Make sure the flames are steady - not lifting or floating.

See Figure 44. The thermopile/thermocouple tips should

be covered with flame (See Figure 32).

thereafter, more frequently if possible.

ensure that no debris is interfering with the flow of air. Inspect

sary after initial cleaning.

By: Home owner.

Task: Remove and clean glass after the first 3 to 4 hours of

use. After the initial cleaning, clean as necessary, particu-

larly after adding new ember (flame colorant) material. Film

deposits on the inside of the glass door should be cleaned

off using a household glass cleaner. NOTE: DO NOT handle

or attempt to clean the door when it is hot and DO
