Odor from fireplace| When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used around the fireplace.
Film on the glass| 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 to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.
Metallic noise| 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 fireplace.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn continually?| In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when the appliance is turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot flame to remain lit.
backup (IPI Models) Power Outages Battery| This appliance (IPI Models) can be operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the battery pack, the decorative front, mesh and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 3 for more details.
Wall above the appliance feels hot to the touch.| No action is necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this appliance.

1 Pilot won’t light.
The ignitor/module makes noise, but no spark.| A.Incorrect wiring.| Verify “S” wire (white) for sensor and 1″ wire (orange) for ignitor are connected to correct terminals on module and pilot assembly.
B.Loose connections or electrical shorts in the wiring.| Verify no loose connections or electrical shorts in wiring from mod-ule to pilot assembly. Verify connections underneath pilot assembly are tight: also verify connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner. pilot enclosure, mesh screen if present, or any other metal object.
C.Ignitor gap is too large.| Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be approximately .095 in. (2.41 mm) to .135 in. (3.43 mm).
D.Module.| Tum ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire 1″ from module. Place a grounded wire about 3/16 in. (5 mm) away from 1″ terminal on module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at “1” the terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, the module is fine. Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around the electrode. Replace pilot if necessary.
2. Pilot won’t light.
there is no noise or spark.| A.No power or transformer installed incorrectly.| Verify that transformer is installed and plugged into the module. Check voltage of transformer under load at spade connection on module with ON/OFF switch in ON position. Acceptable readings of a good transformer are between 3.2 and 2.8 volts AC.
B.A shorted or loose connection in wiring configuration or wiring har- ness.| Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into module. Verify there is a tight fit. Verify pilot assembly wiring to module. Remove and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness. Replace any damaged components.
C.Improper wall switch wiring.| Verify that 110-120 VAC power is “OW to junction box.
D.Module not grounded.| Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to metal chassis of the appliance.
E.Module.| Turn-ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I” from the module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at “I’ terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at 1” terminal, the module is fine. Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator around the electrode.
3. Pilot sparks, but
The pilot will not light.| A.Gas supply.| Verify that the incoming gas line ball valve is “open”. Verify that the inlet pressure reading is within acceptable limits.
---|---|---
B. Ignitor gap is too large.| Verify gap of igniter to the right side of the pilot hood. The gap should be approximately .095 in. (2.41 mm) to .135 in. (3.43 mm).
C. The module is not grounded.| Verify module is securely grounded to the metal chassis of the appliance.
D. Module voltage output / Valve/Pilot solenoid ohms readings.| Verify battery voltage is at least 2.7 volts. Replace batteries if volt-age is below 2.7.
4. 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 flame sensing 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 enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.
---|---|---
B.Poor flame rectification or contaminated flame sensing rod.| With fixed glass assembly in place, verify that flame is engulfing flame sensing rod on the left side of pilot hood. The flame sensing rod should glow shortly after ignition. Verify correct pilot orifice is installed and gas inlet is set to pressure specifications. Polish flame sensing rod with fine steel wool to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on flame sensing rod.
C.Module is not grounded.| Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of the appliance. Verify that wire harness is firmly connected to the module.
D. Damaged pilot assembly or contaminated flame sensing rod.| Verify that the ceramic insulator around the flame sensing rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify connection from flame sensing rod to white sensor wire. Polish flame sensing rod with fine steel wool to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on flame sensing rod. Verify continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at the lowest range. Replace pilot if any damage is detected.
E.Module.| Turn-ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove ignitor wire “I” from the module. Place ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at “I” the terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, the module is fine.
