Do you have a question about the Cypress and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My propane Cypress Avalon fireplace isn’t reacting to my wired in thermostat. The thermostat is wifi enabled but the fireplace isn’t listening to it. What can I try? I am using a Iux geo thermostat.
If the Avalon Cypress propane fireplace is not responding to a wired Iux geo thermostat, the following troubleshooting steps can be taken:
1. Check if the thermostat is disconnected – Ensure the thermostat is properly connected.
2. Check the thermostat setting – Make sure it is not set too low.
3. Check for power issues – Verify the stove is getting electricity; inspect the breaker switch.
4. Check propane supply – Ensure there is propane in the tank.
5. Check backup batteries – Replace the power backup batteries if they are dead.
These steps address common issues that may prevent the fireplace from responding to a thermostat.
