MAINTENANCE
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 25 )
Refer to the maintenance schedule for
maintenance tasks, procedures, frequency and
by whom they should be performed. Always
verify proper operation of the appliance after
servicing.
WARNING
Turn off gas and electrical power
to the fi replace and allow it to
cool before cleaning or servicing
the appliance.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety
glasses for protection while doing
required maintenance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne
adéquatement une fois l'entretien
terminé.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before relighting, refer to the lighting instructions in
this manual. Instructions are also found on
a pull-out panel located on the fl oor of the
appliance.
Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other fl ammable liquids.
Remember, Millivolt appliances have a
continuous burning pilot fl ame. Exercise
caution when using products with
combustible vapors.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should
be thoroughly inspected before initial use
and at least annually by a qualifi ed service
technician (inspection should include
ensuring that exhaust or intake passages
are unobstructed and vent components
are properly assembled and not damaged).
Homeowner must contact a qualifi ed
service technician at once if any abnormal
condition is observed.
If the venting system is disassembled for any
reason, a qualifi ed service technician should
follow vent installation instructions for proper
reassembly and proper sealing of the venting
system components. However, more frequent
periodic inspections and cleanings should be
performed by the homeowner.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation on Page 11).
Note: Clean glass after fi rst two weeks of
operation (after Burn-In period is over) and
then only when necessary and when the
fi replace is cool. Wipe surface with a clean,
dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft
towel as desired. Take care not to scratch the
glass surface.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive
cleaners on glass. Never clean the
glass when it is hot.
The viewing glass should be cleaned
periodically to remove any build-up caused
from the following:
• During start-up, it is normal for
condensation to form on the inside of
the glass (this condensation and fog will
usually disappear in a few minutes). The
moisture can cause lint, dust and other
airborne particles to cling to the glass
surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a
fi lm on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a
result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating
season, depending on the circumstances
present. The following cleaning solutions are
approved for use to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar and water
• Gas fi replace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket
Visually inspect the gasket on the backside
of the glass enclosure panels. The gasket
surface must be clean, free of irregularities
and seated fi rmly.
Clean Control Compartment
Keep control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
materials, etc. It is important that control
compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when
handling the fi ber logs, as they become quite
fragile after curing). Vacuum out any foreign
matter (lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner.
Ensure the burner ports are “open.” Remove
any carbon deposits from the under side of
the logs using a vacuum cleaner, or a soft
bristled brush (i.e. paint brush).
Note: Improper positioning of logs can
create carbon build-up and will alter the
performance of the appliance.
Replacing Logs
If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement,
use only the proper replacement logs from
manufacturer (see Pages 13,14 and 15 for
ordering information).
Reinstall Embers and Logs
Carefully follow placement instructions
on Pages 12 through 15. All logs should
fi t onto corresponding pins and/or log
stoppers. This will ensure a proper fl ame
and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 18.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien
des commandes, étiquetez tous les
fils avant de les débrancher. Des
erreurs de cáblage peuvent entraîner
un fonctionnement inadéquat et
dangereux.
Inspect and clean all wire connections.
Ensure that there is no melting or damage.
Inspection should include:
• Terminals at the Valve
• CPI Switch (Pilot Mode)
• (Optional Control Switch) Wall

(QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY)
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper fl ame appearance is a fl ame which
is blue at the base and becomes yellowish-
orange in the body of the fl ame.
When the appliance is fi rst lit, the entire
fl ame may be blue and will gradually turn
yellowish-orange during the fi rst 15 minutes
of operation. If the fl ame remains blue, or if
the fl ame is orange with evidence of sooting
(black tip), the air shutter opening may need
to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated
by black puffs developing at the tips of very
long orange fl ames. Sooting results in black
deposits forming on the logs, appliance
inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces
adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion
in the fl ames and lack of combustion air
entering the air shutter opening. To achieve
a warm yellowish-orange fl ame with an
orange body that does not soot, the shutter
opening must be adjusted between these two
extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, fi rst
check the log set positioning to ensure
that the fl ames are not impinging on
any of the logs. If the log set is properly
positioned and a sooting condition still
exists, then the air shutter opening should
be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the
larger the air shutter opening will need to
be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have fl ames that
appear blue and transparent. These weak,
blue and transparent fl ames are termed
anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit fl ames
which candle or appear stringy. If this is
present and persists, adjust the air shutter
to a more closed position, then operate
the appliance for a few more minutes to
ensure that the fl ame normalizes and the
fl ames do not appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.

avoid injury while adjusting
fl ame appearance.
BURNER FLAME ADJUSTMENTS
1. Refer to Figures 10, 11, and 12 for
proper fl ame appearance. To adjust
the fl ame, rotate the adjustment rod
toward the back or toward the front of
the fi replace (rod located in the lower
control area). Position the air shutter to
the factory setting as shown in the table in
Figure 13.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure
on lighting label in control compartment
or in this Care and Operation Instructions).
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least
15 minutes while observing the fl ame
continuously to ensure that the proper
fl ame appearance has been achieved.
If the following conditions are present,
adjust accordingly.
• If fl ame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a
more open position until the proper
fl ame appearance is achieved.
• If fl ame remains blue, adjust the air
shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper fl ame
appearance is achieved.
4. When satisfi ed that the burner fl ame
appearance is normal, turn the ON/OFF
control (unit-mounted or remote switch,
depending on your application) to the
OFF position.
5. Reinstall the lower control access panel,
then proceed to fi nish the installation.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE: MILLIVOLT GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, make sure the external gas shut off valve (located at gas supply inlet) is in the
“ON” position.
Note: Valve system troubleshooting should only be performed by a qualifi ed service technician.
1. Spark igniter will not light
pilot after repeated triggering
of igniter button.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following the lighting instructions.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob “ON,”
Wall Switch “ON.”
POSSIBLE CAUSES
A. Defective igniter
(no spark at electrode).
B. Defective or misaligned electrode
at pilot (spark at electrode).
C. Gas supply pressure errant.
D. Pilot orifi ce plugged.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple).
A. Wall switch or wires defective.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONSYMPTOM
Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and trigger the igniter button again. If pilot lights, an improper gas
mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is
recommended. If pilot will not light – check gap at electrode
and pilot – should be 1/8 in. to have a strong spark. If gap
measures 1/8 in., replace pilot (Figure 14 on page 17).
Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits as
marked on the rating plate.
Clean or replace pilot orifi ce.
Check pilot fl ame, it must impinge on thermocouple (Figure 14 on page 17). Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum fl ame
impingement on thermocouple. Ensure that the connection
between the valve and thermocouple are tight and secure.
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper
wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across wall
switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty or
connections are bad.
4. Frequent pilot/burner outage
problem.
B. Thermopile may not be generating
suffi cient millivoltage.
C. Plugged burner orifi ce.
A. Pilot fl ame may be too low or
blowing (high) causing the pilot/
valve safety to drop out.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts minimum
with optional wall switch “OFF.” Replace faulty thermopile if
reading is below specifi ed minimum.
Check burner orifi ce for stoppage and remove.
Clean and/or adjust pilot fl ame for maximum fl ame impingement on thermocouple (Figure 14 on page 17).
