OBSERVED PROBLEM
Delayed ignition burner.
Remote does not function.
Burner flame is too low or
too high.
Burner is excessively noisy.
(Note: The movement and
combustion of gas will cre
ate low, unavoidable levels
of noise.)
Log set is smoking/sooting
excessively.
(Note: It is natural and un-
avoidable for vented gas log
sets to produce moderate
levels of carbon (soot) where
flames contact the logs. This
is especially true with propane/
LP gas.)
Log set produces a clicking/
ticking noise just after burner
is lit or shut off.
Log set produces unwanted
odors.
Gas odor even when control
knob is in OFF position.
WARNING: If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas supply.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
IMPORTANT: Operating log set where impurities in air exist may create odors. Cleaning supplies, paint, paint
remover, cigarette smoke, cements and glues, new carpet or textiles, etc. create fumes. These fumes may mix
with combustion air and create odors. These odors will disappear over time.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Pilot flame needs adjust -
ing.
2. Wrong pilot orifice for gas
type.
Battery is not installed. Battery power
may be low.
1. Incorrect gas supply or pressure.
2. Blocked burner orifice or burner
manifold ports.
3. Improper burner orifice size.
1. Passage of air/gas across irregular
surfaces.
2. Excessive gas pressure on natural
gas units.
1. Poor fuel quality.
2. Fireplace venting system not
drafting properly.
3. Excessive flame impingement
or blockage.
4. Improper fuel/air mixture.
5. Excessive gas supply/pressure.
Metal expanding while
heating or contracting while
cooling.
1. Log Set burning vapors
from paint, hair spray, glues,
cleaners, chemicals, new
carpet, etc. (See IMPOR -
TANT statement below.)
2. Gas leak. See Warning
statement below.
1. Gas leak. See Warning
statement below.
2. Control valve defective.
REMEDY
1. Adjust pilot flame for ap -
proximately 2" blue flame.
2. Replace pilot orifice.
Replace 9-volt batteries in receiver
and/or remote control.
1. Check for proper gas supply
pressure.
2. Free burner orifice and
manifold ports of any burrs,
paint, or other blockage.
3. Verify proper burner orifice siz-
-
ing (see Figure 2, page 5).
1. Relieve any tight bends or
kinks in gas supply line.
2. Have inlet gas pressure
checked by a qualified ser
vice person.
1. Contact local natural or
propane/LP gas company.
2. Adjust damper wide open
and/or have fireplace and
v e n t i n g p r o f e s s i o n a l l y
cleaned and checked.
3. Separate the logs to allow
more flame passage.
4. Remove any foreign items
from the flame pattern and/
or check for proper orifice
sizing.
5. Preheat flue in very cold
weather.
This is normal with most log
sets. If noise is excessive,
contact qualified service
person.
1. Open flue to maximum. Stop
using odor causing products
while log set is running.
2. Locate and correct all leaks
(see Checking Gas Connec-
tions, page 6).

(see Checking Gas Connec -
tions, page 6).
2. Replace control valve.
