OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COPY OF LIGHTING INSTRUCTION PLATE AUTOMATIC CONVECTION FAN OPERATION The fan operates automatically. Turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit has been cooled to below useful heat output range, the fan will shut off automatically.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Always turn the gas valve to the off position before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a clean soft paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged. 2) Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door and louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
