WHAT SHOULD I DO IF SOOTING OCCURS?
Issue
Thin black coating (soot) forms
on viewing glass
Sooting is caused by improper installation or air shutter operation. However, some small areas of soot deposits on
log surfaces are deemed acceptable. If you observe large soot areas (larger than 1"x1") on log surfaces or signs
of sooting on the door glass (usually a thin black film on the viewing glass or on the outside of the home around
the vent cap), turned off immediately and the local authorized dealer promptly informed. Authorized dealers will
correct "sooting" problems, but they are not responsible for damage caused by excessive sooting that has not
been immediately brought to their attention.
HOW DO I CHANGE FROM °C TO °F ON MY REMOTE?
To change between °C to °F, follow these steps:
1. Press the ON/OFF button and turn off.
2. Simultaneously, press both the mode button and the thermostat button.
3. Look at the LCD display to verify that your desired indicator (°F or °C) is being displayed. If not, repeat Step 2.

Have gas supplier check for correct gas inlet pressure
(7" WC nat. gas; 11" WC LP gas). Check the glass
gasket for proper seal. Corners of glass gaskets cannot
be bulging out. If glass gasket along the top edge in
the middle is white in color across entire thickness of
gasket bulb, replace glass gasket.
If sooting continues, open air shutter on burner. If
sooting continues, shut off and call an authorized
service person.
