J. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is al-
lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Blue flames
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This
is caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from
finishing materials and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require
additional curing related to the installation environment.
Odor from appliance
Film on the glass
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned
within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass
cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you
do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified technician in the diagnosis of a problem and the
corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified technician. Contact your dealer to
arrange a service call by a qualified technician.

Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.
C. Defective ignitor.
Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor. Verify that there is no
short in electrode wire.
D. Defective pilot or misaligned
electrode (spark at elec-
trode).
Using match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and
trigger the piezo ignitor button again. If the pilot lights, an improper
gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is
recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure the gap at the elec-
trode and pilot is one-eighth inch to have a strong spark. If the gap
is OK, replace the pilot.
2. The pilot will not stay lit
after carefully following
the lighting instructions.
A. Defective thermocouple.
Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Adjust the
pilot for proper flame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully
inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Verify proper voltage output from the thermocouple to the valve.
Place one millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead.
Place the second lead wire on the solder button on the back of the
valve (blue wire). Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. The
millivolt reading should read 8-16 millivolts. If millivolt reading is
less than 8 millivolts, replace thermocouple.
B. Improper gas inlet pressure. Natural gas should be 5-14 in. w.c. LP should be 10-14 in. w.c.
Verify pressure with manometer.
C. Defective valve.
If the thermocouple is producing 8-16 millivolts, replace faulty valve.
3. The pilot is burning,

A. On/off switch or wires defec-
tive.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place
the jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner

erating sufficient millivoltage.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve
terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the
pilot bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at
TH-TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 350
millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the
pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the
specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads
from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The read-
ing should be 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the
reading is below the minimum.
