Maintenance And Service
Routine maintenance:
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything. The pilot ame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
Warning: Clearances must be sufcient to allow access for maintenance and service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualied agency.
gLass DooR RemoVaL:
Figure 6: Top bolts for glass door.
Turn unit off and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
Remove the decorative fascia or clip-on bay window by lifting it up
and removing it from the slots in the body of the unit.
Undo the two (2) 5/16’’ bolts at the top of the door frame and then lift
the glass and frame, being careful that the glass does not fall out of
the door frame assembly. Install in the reverse order.
Ensure the door is properly fastened after cleaning before attempting
to re-light the appliance.
cLeaning the gLass:
When the replace has cooled, remove the face of the replace along with the glass. See Maintenance
and Service - GlaSS door reMoval. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that
it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all
replaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint
curing of the appliance can leave a slight lm behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need
cleaning about two weeks after installation. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive
cleaners will damage the glass and plated surfaces. Depending on the amount of use, the glass
should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season. Do not clean the glass when it is
hot.
cLeaning the FiRebox:
Remove the logs carefully, as they are very fragile. Gently remove all the embers and rock wool and place
on a paper towel. Vacuum the bottom of the rebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and
remove any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner pan for cracking or severe
warping. If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration or large amounts
of soot; a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and embers as in the
Secondary inStallation - loG Set and eMber inStallation section. If new/more embers and rock wool are
required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.
RepLacing the gLass:
The glass in the replace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory
replacement is required (see PartS liSt). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly

9
to prevent personal injury. When the glass door assembly is being transported, it must be wrapped in
newsprint and tape and/or a strong plastic bag. Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked
or broken. Removal and replacement of the glass from the door must be done by a licensed or qualied
service person. The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials
are allowed.
maintaining Fascia anD suRRounD Finishes:
When a plated surround or face is received, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting
anything on the surface of the nish, including cleaners, polish and nger prints. If your ngers come into
contact with the nishes, the oils left as ngerprints on the plating can become permanently etched in
the surface. To prevent this, clean the painted surfaced with a damp cloth and clean plated nishes with
denatured alcohol after the installation and prior to rst ring of the replace. If your ngers come into
contact with the antique copper nish, the oils left as ngerprints on the copper can cause discoloration,
which will eventually turn green in that area. You can clean the patina or discolored areas of the antique
copper nish with “OO” 3M green sanding pads. These can be purchased from most hardware stores. On
the areas with discoloration, use the sanding pads to sand in the same direction as the brushed nish,
then blend the nish by feathering in the surrounding area. This renishing procedure has been approved
by the manufacturer and will not harm the nish. Please note: ANTIQUE COPPER IS THE ONLY FINISH
THAT CAN BE SANDED, DO NOT SAND PEWTER, GOLD OR NICKEL FINISHES.
buRneR anD bLoweR RemoVaL:
1. Turn the unit off, remove the glass door (see Maintenance and Service - GlaSS door reMoval) and the
log set. Caution: Bleed lines before lighting and light pilot with door open.
2. Remove the burner tray top by removing the two (2) T-20 screws located in the center of the burner
tray (see Figure 7). Slide tray to the left and lift out.
3. Remove brick panels (see Secondary inStallation - brick PanelS inStallation).
4. Remove the surround panel by lifting it straight up and then out to free it from the body of the unit.
5. Turn the gas supply off and remove gas connection and disconnect the wiring from the side of the

Secondary Installation
Log set anD embeR instaLLation:
The placement of the logs is not arbitrary. If they are positioned incorrectly, the ames can be “pinched”
and will not burn correctly. The burner comes with placement pins and rest areas, which make alignment
easier. Using Figures 28 to 32, carefully set the logs in place.
Back Placement/Support Pins
NOTE: The logs are fragile and should
be handled with care.
Place the rear log on the two back placement
pins.
Install the left front log on the left placement
pin with the narrow end of the log resting on
the rectangular rest area.
Install the right front log on the right
placement pin with the narrow end
of the log resting on the rectangular
rest area. The last two logs should
meet tip to tip on the rest area.
One end of the big log twig will rest
on the pin on the right log and the
other will lay within the left rest
area.
The small log twig should be placed
so it sit completely within the right
rest area.
Once the logs are in place the embers
can be placed lightly between the
logs. Bags of ceramic ber embers
and rock wool are provided. The
ceramic ber comes in chunks that
are about 2”-4” (5-10cm) long.
Break these roughly in half and
place them irregularly around the
burner. When there is a sparse but
even layer of embers, spread the
rock wool in the same manner. DO
NOT pack this ember material as this
could create an unsafe condition.
The pieces should be lightly place so
they don’t completely block any of
the tiny ports. DO NOT allow any of
the embers to rest against the pilot
assembly.
