The fireplace should be run three to four hours
continuously on low.
•
•
•
•
Turn the fireplace off and allow it to completely cool.
Remove fixed glass assembly. See Section 15.K.
Clean fixed glass assembly. See Section 3.
Replace the fixed glass assembly and run continuously
on high an additional 12 hours.
This cures the materials used to manufacture the fire-
place.

break-in.
• Some people may be sensitive to smoke and
odors.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
S. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this
condensation will disappear.
Blue flames
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused
by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials
and adhesives used near the appliance. These circumstances may require additional curing
related to the installation environment.
Film on the glass
Metallic noise
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within
3 to 4 hours of initial burning. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance glass cleaner may be
necessary. See your dealer.
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of the appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot
flame burn continually?
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.

To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insu-
lation. If the appliance is being installed on a cement slab,
a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent
conducting cold up into the room.
B. Construct the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield
firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. Therefore, you MUST
check local building codes to determine the requirements
to these steps.
C. Clearances
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on
carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than
wood.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may
be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
•
•
Insulation and other materials must be secured to
prevent accidental contact.
The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fireplace or chimney.
Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fire.

A. Troubleshooting
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you
do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service technician in the diagnosis of a problem
and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician. Con-
tact your dealer to arrange a service call by a qualified service technician.
The normal behaviors of the board could be inhibited by
the anomalies described in the following tables.
•
The main burner gas valve is energized, and gas will
flow, only if commanded and after the supervised pilot
flame is detected to be continuously lit.
The system will try two times for ignition.
Each try for ignition will last approximately 60
seconds.
The wait time between the two tries is approximately 35
seconds.
If there is no positive ignition, after two tries, the ignition
module will go into lockout.
Note on the automatic ignition sequence:
•
•
•
•
•
The supervised pilot flame detection is activated only
after a command is correctly received.
The sparking means are activated only after no parasitic
flame is detected, before the ignition.
The pilot gas valve is energized, and the gas will flow,
only after the sparking means are activated.
•
•
Note: To reset the ignition module lockout - turn the unit off for five seconds, then back on.

The ignitor/
module makes
noise, but no
spark.
a.
b.
Incorrect wiring.
Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and “I” wire (orange) for ignitor are connected to the
correct terminals on the module and the pilot assembly. Reversed wires at the module
may cause the system to make a sparking noise, but the spark may not be present at
pilot hood.
Loose connections or
Verify there are no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from module to
electrical shorts in the wiring. pilot assembly. The rod closest to the pilot hood should be ignitor. Verify connections
underneath pilot assembly are tight; also verify the connections are not grounding out
to the metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure, mesh screen if present, or any other
metal object.
c.
d.
Ignitor gap is too large.
Faulty module.
Verify gap of ignitor to pilot hood. The gap should be approximately .17 in. or 1/8 in.
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I”
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal,
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot
assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.

Verify green ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to metal chassis of
appliance.
No gas flow out of pilot
burner.
Check gas mains supply and pressure. Check gas valve wirings and connections to the
board. Check for pilot burner obstruction.
No ionization current
established through flame
within ignition time.
Remove/clean eventual bridging carbon deposits betweeh the pilot burner and the
ionization rod.
f.
No gas flow out of pilot
burner or pilot gas presure
dropout upon main burner
gas valve opening.
Check gas mains supply and pressure. Check the correct gas type setting on the valve
and pilot burner assembly orifice.
g.
h.
No spark generation.
Check parasitic pilot flame existence.
No spark voltage reaches
the spark rod, or spark
developes near pilot
assembly.
Check for cracks in the rod ceramic insulator, replace as necessary. Check pilot
assembly wirings and spark return connections to the board.

Troubleshooting (continued)
3.
Pilot lights but
continues to
spark, and main
burner will not
ignite. (If the
pilot continues
to spark after the
pilot flame has
been lit, flame
rectification has
not occurred.)
a.
A shorted or loose
connection in sensor rod.
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connections underneath pilot
assembly are tight. Verify connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot
burner, pilot bracket/enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.
b.
Poor flame rectification or
contaminated sensor rod.
Verify flame is engulfing sensor rod. If the pilot assembly does not have a ground
strap, consider installing one to increase flame rectification. Verify correct pilot orifice
is installed and inlet gas specifications are met. Flame carries rectification current, not
the gas. If flame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orifice or too high an
inlet pressure can cause pilot flame to lift. The sensor rod may be contaminated. Clean
sensor rod with emery cloth.
c.
d.
Module is not grounded.
Verify that module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance. Verify that the
wire harness is firmly connected to module.
Damaged pilot assembly or
dirty sensor rod.
Verify that ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose.
Verify connection from sensor rod to white sensor wire. Clean sensor rod with emery
cloth to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on sensor rod. Verify
continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.
e.
a.
Faulty module.
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I”
from module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground
wire about 3/16 in. away from “I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal,
module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot
assembly for shorted sdparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode.
4.
5.
Frequent pilot
outage problem.
Pilot flame may be too high
or low, or blowing (high),
causing pilot safety to drop
out.
Clean and adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on sensor. Follow
lighting instructions carefully.
The pilot and
main burner
extinguish while
in operation.
a.
b.
No LP in tank.
Check the LP (propane) tank. Refill the fuel tank.
Inner vent pipt leaking
exhaust gases back into the
system.
Check for gas leaks.
c.
d.
Horizontal vent improperly
pitched.
The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from
entering the unit. The maximum downwards slope is 1/4 in.
Glass too loose and air tight
packet leaks in corners after
usage.
Tighten the corner.
e.
Improper vent cap
installation.
Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.
6.
Glass soots.
a.
b.
c.
Flame impingement.
Improper venturi setting.
Debris around venturi.
Adjust the log set so that the flame does not excessively impinge on it.
Adjust the air shutter at the base of the burner.
Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN
THIS OPENING.
7.
8.
Flame burns
blue and lifts off
burner.
a.
a.
b.
Insufficient oxygen being
supplied.
Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris, and that the vent system
joints are tight and have no leaks; that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in
the rea of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner; that the glass is
tightened properly on the unit, particularly on top corners.
No reaction to
command.
No power supply connected
to the board, false contact,
broken wiring.
Verify fan control module is plugged in to box, 3-pin connector is seated.
The board could be locked.
A maximum number of failed ignitions or flame restorations has been reached. Remove
any possible blocking conditions.
The board must be reset from Lockout.
