If adjustment is necessary, the control has a pilot
adjustment screw located in the upper right of the
control face. Use a standard slotted screwdriver to

It is natural and unavoidable for vented gas log sets (especially propane) to produce moderate levels of
carbon (soot) where flame contacts the logs. The logs can be cleaned using a soft-bristle brush. How-
ever, if soot is produced where there is no flame impingement, one of the following may be the cause:
Fireplace venting system not drafting properly: Make sure the damper is wide open at all times.
Preheat the flue in very cold weather by burning the log set at a very low level, then slowly increasing
the flame height over a matter of hours. Have the fireplace and the venting system professionally
cleaned.
Excessive flame impingement or blockage: Make sure there is proper spacing between the logs so
they are not smothering the flame. Rearrange the logs so they are touched less by the flames.
Excessive gas supply/pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the fireplace does not
exceed the maximum pressure allowed with this gas set (refer to tables on Page 4).
Please note: The movement and combustion of gas will create low, unavoidable levels of noise.
Passage of air/gas across irregular surfaces: There may be burrs, paint, or other blockages on the
burner bar ports. Check these ports and remove any blockage.
Excessive gas pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the fireplace does not exceed the
maximum pressure allowed with this gas set (refer to tables on Page 4).
Flexible Gas Connector: Relieve any tight bends or kinks in the Flexible Gas Connector. Switch to a
less flexible gas connector, which can be purchased at any hardware or home improvement store.
