OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PILOT LIGHT
Refer to the lighting instruction label on how to light
the pilot. Check that the pilot has fully engulfed the
thermocouple assembly (Fig.1).
LIGHTING THE BURNER
Standing Pilot (SP)
The CLARITY CL29 SP controls are located behind
the hinged fl ap beneath the fi rebox.(Fig.2) To light
the burner follow the steps below:
1. Make sure the pilot is lit (see “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS Standing Pilot”)
2. Turn the “Valve Control” knob counterclockwise
to ON.
3. Flip the fl ame ON/OFF switch, located beside the

5. Turn on all electrical power to the unit.
6. NOTE: Burn the appliance on high, with the
optional blower OFF, for the fi rst two to three
hours. This will cure all the paint, gasket, and
seals. It is advised to open a door or window
as the unit will smoke and give off odors as it is
curing.
OPTIONAL BLOWER
An optional blower S.Z4946.SP is available. For
installation refer to the installation instructions
provided with the kit.
Turn the blower on by turning the “Blower Speed”
knob clockwise .(Fig.2) The blower will only
come on when the fi replace is up to temperature
(approximately 10-15 minutes) because it is equipped
with a thermal switch. Fan speed control sequence
is off , then maximum to minimum. The speed of the
fan can be decreased by turning the knob clockwise
. The speed of the fan can be increased by
turning the knob counterclockwise . The blower
will continue to operate after the burner is turned off
(approximately 15-20 minutes). To turn the blower off

Clarity CL29 SP MAINTENANCE and SERVICE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Regularly:
• Clean and remove any lint accumulations or debris from the grills and combustion or convection air
passage ways.
• Keep the appliance area free from combustible materials, such as paper, wood, clothing, gasoline,
fl ammable solids, liquids and vapors.
• Visually check the height and color of the burner and pilot fl ames. The pilot fl ame should be blue with
little or no yellow on the tips.
• Check for unusual noises or odors during operation of the appliance.
• Check the vent terminal for any damage, or obstruction by plants or debris accumulation.
It is recommended to periodically have your appliance serviced by a qualifi ed service technician:
1. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down completely
2. Remove the safety screen trim and glass door (see “GLASS DOOR REMOVAL” on next page) and
clean the inside of the glass with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and water or a suitable, mild, non-abrasive
cleaner.
3. Remove and clean the glass fl oor panel and set aside.
4. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot assembly to make sure it is
not blocked by anything. Use a vacuum to clear out any debris around the burner and valve.
5. Completely inspect the appliance and the venting system.
6. Check the safety system of the gas valve.
CLEANING SURFACES
Painted, powder coated, or porcelain enameled surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth periodically.
Ensure the appliance has cooled down completely before any cleaning. Do not use other cleaners as they
may leave a residue which can become permanently etched into the surface.
CLEANING THE GLASS
DO NOT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT
One of the by-products of combustion and moisture in the fi rebox is a white fi lm which can show up on the
glass of the viewing door. Initial curing of the appliance can also leave a slight fi lm on the glass, which is a
temporary problem.
1. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down completely.
2. Remove the safety screen trim and glass door from the fi rebox (see “GLASS DOOR REMOVAL” on
next page)
3. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass. Ensure that it is attached and intact.
4. Clean the glass with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth (see below). Abrasive cleaners will damage
the glass
Slight soiling of SCHOTT ROBAX® panels can be removed using conventional glass cleaning products,
provided they are used according to instructions of use, which means cleaning on cold surfaces. The residues
should be removed since chemical attack is possible on exposure to temperature. The coated ROBAX®
Mirror, ROBAX® TrueView, ROBAX® IR Max and ROBAX® Energy Plus can be cleaned with a soft cloth.
NOTE: IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE SCOURING PADS, ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR SCOURING
AGENTS, AS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GLASS SURFACE. THE SCHOTT-RECOMMENDED DRY
WIPER IS SUITABLE FOR USE ONLY ON UNCOATED FIRE VIEWING PANELS.
