PROCEDURE
Inspect valve and ensure it is properly operating. Check piping for
leaks. Vacuum the control compartment, fireplace logs, and burner
area.
Refer to Figure 13 or Figure 14 on Page 20.Verify the flame pattern

pilot and burner assembly. Wipe the pilot nozzles, igniter/flame rod,
and hood. Ensure the pilot flame engulfs the flame sensor as shown.
Inspect the vent system at the top and at the base (within the firebox)
for signs of blockage or obstruction. Look for any signs of dislocation
or deterioration of the vent components.

& fittings (excessive condensation can be caused by long lateral
runs, too many elbows, and/or exterior portions of the system being
exposed to cold weather). Also, inspect the wall straps or plumbers's
tape to ensure they are securely in place.
