TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Sudden drop in gas fl ow, or a reduced fl ame height
Possible Cause 1: Out of gas.
Possible Cause 2: Excess fl ow safety device may have been activated.
Problem: Irregular fl ame pattern, fl ame does not run the full length of the burner
Possible Cause: Burner ports are clogged or blocked.
- Refill or exchange your LP tank.
if the flame goes out. In order for the unit to work, flames must be contacting the
thermocouple located in the igniter housing. Visually inspect the thermocouple and
igniter housing to make sure there are no obstructions, such as glass filler, and that
flames are contacting the thermocouple.
-Clean burner ports.
Do this by inserting a paperclip into each of the burner ports to ensure they are
not clogged.
WARNING: Make sure burner is not on and the gas supply has been properly
disconnected. Allow 15 minutes for unit to cool before touching it.
Problem: Flame blow out
Possible Cause 1: High or gusting winds.
-Do not use fire table.
Possible Cause 2: Low on LP gas.
Possible Cause 3: Excess fl ow valve tripped.
-Replace or refi ll LP gas tank.
-Refer to “Problem: Sudden drop in gas fl ow”
Problem: Flame seems to lose heat when burning in cold weather -
temperature below 50°F
Possible Cause 1: Ice has built up on the outside of the LP gas tank because the
vaporization process is too low.
-Turn the control knob and the LP gas tank to OFF. Replace with a spare LP
gas tank and resume burning. Store the spare LP gas tank in a well ventilated
area, away from children.
