S. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUESOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glassThis is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue fl amesThis is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from applianceWhen fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from fi nishing materials
and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing
related to the installation environment.
Film on the glassThis 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.
Metallic noiseNoise 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.
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl ame burn continually?
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot fl ame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

B. Construct the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling fi restops and wall shield
fi restops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST
check local building codes to determine the requirements
to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi re-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab,
a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent
conducting cold up into the room.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than
wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specifi ed air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to
prevent accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fi replace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and

when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see Figure
7.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216
mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A
length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows
(see Figure 7.1).
D. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards.
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 7.2).
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see
Figure 6.4.).
• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of
termination cap.

Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connections underneath pilot
assembly are tight. Verify connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot
burner, pilot bracket/enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.
Verify fl ame is engulfi ng sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does not have a ground
strap, consider installing one to increase fl ame rectifi cation. Verify correct pilot orifi ce
is installed and inlet gas specifi cations are met. Flame carries rectifi cation current, not
the gas. If fl ame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orifi ce or too high an
inlet pressure can cause pilot fl ame to lift. The sensor rod may be contaminated. Clean
sensor rod with emery cloth.
wire harness is fi rmly connected to module.
Verify that ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose.
Verify connection from sensor rod to white sensor wire. Clean sensor rod with emery
cloth to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on sensor rod. Verify
continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal,
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fi ne. Inspect pilot
assembly for shorted sdparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.
Clean and adjust the pilot fl ame for maximum fl ame impingement on sensor. Follow
lighting instructions carefully.
Check for gas leaks.
The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from
entering the unit. The maximum downwards slope is 1/4 in.
Tighten the corner.
Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.

Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris, and that the vent system
joints are tight and have no leaks; that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in
the rea of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner; that the glass is
tightened properly on the unit, particularly on top corners.
Verify fan control module is plugged in to box, 3-pin connector is seated.
