Inspect the appliance before initial use. Clean the appliance at least
annually and have it inspected by a qualied eld service person.
Periodically remove the logs and examine the burner. If the burner is
dirty, clean it with a soft wire brush. Also examine the area around
the burner air shutter. Remove any dirt or debris in this area. This will
ensure long life and trouble-free operation.
Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it
is not damaged in any way.
Carbon (soot) may build up on the surfaces of the logs with heavy use.
This is more likely to occur with LP gas. Clean soot off the surface of
the logs periodically to prevent excessive buildup.
To clean the logs, be sure the re is out, the gas supply is turned off
and the logs are cool to the touch. The soot can then be brushed of
with a dry bristle brush or cloth. Take care while cleaning the logs as
they can become damaged if mishandled.
Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it
is not cracked or damaged in any way. All natural gas hook-ups should
be serviced and inspected only by qualied installers only.
The easiest way to clean the repit or replace is to let the repit/
replace cool completely off.
With a wood burning replace, remove the steel grate and sweep
out the ashes and leftover kindling.
With a gas repit or replace, spray the enclosure off with water.
Note: Do NOT spray water directly onto the burner and pilot light
of the gas replace.
When not in use and after cooling, cover your repit with our full
length, zippered side canvas cover. The cover will help protect your
repit/replace from detrimental effects of weather and environmental
pollutants (see your local Cal Flame dealer for details).
Before installing the cover make sure the unit is shut off, that the gas
lines are disconnected and that the unit has had sufcient time to cool.
Install the cover and use the tie-down straps to secure it tightly to the
unit to prevent the wind from blowing it off.
