SOLUTIONS
1. Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.
2. This is normal. Clean the glass.
3. Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-
ing of the glass is required.
4. The flame height adjustment needs to be reduced or
the firepot needs cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust
blower needs cleaning.
5. Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air.
6. This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is
established. Some smoke is normal.
7. The floor of the firepot in the auto-clean system may
make some noise as it scrapes the ash into the ash
pan.
