If, during appliance operation, the flame
goes out (independently of the burner ON/
OFF switch), the safety limit switch may have
tripped.
Some causes for a tripped safety limit switch
include the following:

Before resetting the safety limit switch, have
a qualified service technician inspect the
fireplace and venting for these conditions and
repair as needed.
