PROCEDURE
Inspect valve and ensure it is properly operating. Check piping
for leaks. Vacuum the control compartment, fireplace logs and
burner area.
Refer to Figure 8 on Page 14 and verify the flame pattern and
height displayed by the appliance conforms to the picture. Flames
must not impinge on the logs. Ensure flames are steady (not
lifting or floating).
Refer to Figure 10 (SIT Millivolt), Figure 11 (Honeywell Millivolt)
on Page 15. Remove any surface build-up on pilot and burner
assembly. Wipe the pilot nozzles, igniter/flame rod and hood.
Ensure the pilot flame engulfs the flame sensor as shown.
Inspect the vent system at the top and at the base (within the
firebox) for signs of blockage or obstruction. Look for any signs
of dislocation or deterioration of the vent components. Note:
Excessive condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and
fittings (excessive condensation can be caused by long lateral
runs, too many elbows and/or exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather). Also inspect wall straps or
plumbers's tape to ensure it is secure and in place.
Perform the appropriate appliance checkout procedure detailed
in this manual.
Remove old ember materials (rockwool) and vacuum the ember
placement area. Place new embers as described and shown in
Figures 6 and 7 on Pages 12 and 13.

Vacuum out interior of the firebox. Clean firebox walls and log
grate. Replace logs, glowing embers, and volcanic stone as
detailed in this manual.
Refer to Figure 8 on Page 14 and verify the flame pattern and
