• Turn on the fireplace and check the appearance of the flame once again.
7. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
We recommend cleaning the pilot flame and the main burner unit before the device is started again and
after long intervals of inactivity.
7.1. Testing and cleaning
Please check and clean as necessary:
• The main burner - if necessary, remove broken parts of stones and dust.
• Pilot burner and thermo-couple (if necessary, remove the existing sediment). In the event of visible damage
contact your dealer.
• Igniter - gap between igniter and pilot flame should not be bigger than 5 mm.
• Glass cylinder – check for dirt smudges or possible scratches or cracks. If cracks are present replace the glass
cylinder for a new one. To conduct this contact your dealer. Always replace the cylinder following any
maintenance/servicing.
• Gas hose and pressure regulator (in case their expiry date is invalid replace these ancillaries for new ones).
• If you encountered problems with the regulator, gas hose, burner or regulation valves do not try to fix these
parts. Contact your place of purchase, an authorised service or an importer in order to acquire genuine spare
parts. To ensure the device is working efficiently use only original spare parts.
• Ensure controls, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance are kept clean for safe operation.

7.2. Glass cylinder cleaning
Most of the existing types of smudges may be wiped with a dry cloth. In case of more substantial smudge you may use
liquids normally applied to ceramic tiles or windows. Always dry the glass screen to avoid damp patches which could
irreversibly embed into the glass.
WARNING!!! Avoid leaving fingerprints on the glass. They will be embedded into the glass and you will not be able to
clean them.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING! Installation, upkeep and service need to be conducted by a qualified professional with
appropriate qualification, an appropriate company or the gas supplier.

There are many factors that may affect the malfunction of the gas insert. To exclude a possible fault in the unit or
the automatic gas control system, make sure that the fireplace is connected according to these instructions.
Below table summarizes possible failures that may occur, possible causes and ways to solve them.

9. PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Do not attempt to remove screws from the top of gas valve. Do not change any adjustments marked with
tamper indicating paint. Motor knob is not to be removed.
• Pilot Flame Adjustment
The pilot flow adjustment is preset to maximum at the factory. The pilot flame should envelope ⅜ʺ
to ½ʺ of the thermocouple
o The adjustment screw can be reached through a hole in the MANUAL knob (see figure 21).
o Turn the MANUAL knob to the ON position.
o It is now possible to pierce through a film on the cover with a screwdriver to reach the
adjustment screw beneath.
o Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame.
23
• Outlet Pressure Adjustment (High Fire)
o Connect a pressure manometer to the valve outlet pressure tap. Pressure tap is opened by
turning the screw counterclockwise. Pressure regulator or throttle are located under the cover
and can be reached by removing the plug (see figures 21 and 23).
o Turn MANUAL knob and main valve knob to the ON position.
o Turn pressure regulator adjustment screw to set required burner pressure (high fire). Pressure is
increased by turning clockwise (pressure regulator models), or decreased by turning
counterclockwise: LPG 1.2kPa, NG 1.0kPa
o After adjustment, replace the plug.
o If no other adjustments are required, close pressure tap(s) by turning the screw(s) full clockwise.
Check all connections/pressure tap(s) for leaks.
o If the desired outlet pressure or flow cannot be achieved by adjusting the gas valve, check the
gas valve inlet pressure using a manometer at the valve inlet pressure tap. If the inlet pressure is
in the normal range, replace the gas valve; otherwise, take necessary steps to assure proper gas
pressure to the valve
24
• Minimum rate Adjustment
o Connect a pressure manometer to the valve outlet pressure tap. Pressure tap is opened by
turning the screw counterclockwise. Minimum rate adjustment screw is located on the top of
the metal valve body.
o Turn minimum rate adjustment screw to set required burner pressure (minimum fire). Pressure
is increased by turning clockwise (pressure regulator models), or decreased by turning
counterclockwise: LPG 0.89kPa, NG 0.53kPa
WARNING! You should never connect any device adapted to the combustion of liquefied gas to the gas network of
natural gas and vice versa.
