Maintenance; Cleaning Instructions - Empire OL48TP10-1 Instructions D'installation Et Mode D'emploi

Keep the control compartment and burner area clean.
Always keep the firepit area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the
front of the firepit clear of all obstacles and materials.
If the burner assembly needs to be serviced allow the firepit to cool
then remove the crushed glass and glass wind screen panels (if
applicable), prior to servicing. It is recommended to use a clean
vacuum for removal of the crushed glass. Retain glass for reuse.

cleaning instructions

This firepit is built using high-grade stainless steel to resist rust-
through. In outdoor applications, all stainless steel will develop
a dull patina and, depending on the local environment and the
materials used in the installation, may develop some surface
oxidation (rust). This does not affect the performance of the firepit,
and does not require any action to correct. If you prefer keeping
your firepit exterior looking factory-fresh, clean it as required with
nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner.
When installation application includes highly acidic applications
such as mortar or stone etching, we recommend that the firepit be
cleaned with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner immediately.
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on glass.
Do not attempt to clean glass when glass is hot.
periodic cleaning – Refer to parts diagram for location of items
discussed below.
• Do not use cleaning fluid to clean any part of the firepit.
• Over time the crushed glass may break down into small pieces
that could clog the main burner ports. Remove fine glass
particles from burner ports. Replace with new crushed glass.

annual cleaning/inspection – Refer to parts diagram for
location of items discussed below.
• Inspect and clean burner air intake hole. Remove lint or particles
with vacuum or brush. Failure to keep air intake hole clean will
result in sooting and poor combustion.
• Inspect and clean all burner ports. Brush crushed glass away
from burner and spray air from a can down the ports.
• Inspect ignitor and thermocouple and clean with damp paper
towel.
• Verify flame pattern for proper operation.
• Verify smooth and responsive ignition of main burner.
• Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside and
on the burner, obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur
in and/or around the obstruction and cause an unsafe condition
and damage to the firepit. To reduce risk, inspect the burner at
least twice monthly when spiders are active, and remove any
nests or webs. If the firepit has been unused for an extended
period of time, inspect the burner and firepit before use.
