Maintaining your Gas Appliance
Clean the white residue which accumulates on the window to assure the residue does not burn in or scar the window glass.
Black spots on windows or logs can mean adjustments by a professional are needed. Log sets can be dusted by the homeowner with care. Placement is critical, do not rearrange logs.
Banging, shaking or rattling of metal or glass indicates improper air to fuel adjustment. Consult a professional to assure your fireplace is burning correctly and adjust as needed.
You can greatly enhance the performance of your gas burning appliance by:
Some things to watch out for...
Clean and service the appliance to maintain the "health" of your investment
Check the stove body and venting for cracks and holes
Check roof flashing or chaise covers for areas of possible leaking
Check masonary chimneys for loose mortar or bricks and cracking
