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 10 on Page 11 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 Figures 12 and 13 on Page 12. 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 &
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.

placement area. Place new embers as described on Page 10.
