Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting

A. Frequently Asked Questions – Appliance

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature

variations. As the fireplace warms, thiscondensation will disappear.
Blue flames| This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is al- lowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
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. These circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.
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 burncontinually?| In an intermittent pilot 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.
Power Outages(battery backup)| This appliance 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 appliance feels hot to the touch.| No action necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Speci- fications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this appliance.

B. Frequently Asked Questions – IntelliFire Touch Controls (Optional IFT- RC400)

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

The appliance does not respond to commands from the remote control display does not light up when screen is touched.| Batteries are depleted.| Verify batteries are new.
Batteries are incorrectly oriented.| Verify batteries are installed in correct orientation as shown on batteries receptacle.
**** The display on remote lights up when screen is touched but it does not respond to commands.| Touchscreen has lost calibration.| Touchscreen needs to be re-calibrated. Call dealer to have screen re-calibrated.
**** Child Lock is ON.| Check child lock icon located at the top of the remote display. If ON, it will show as a ‘locked’ symbol. To unlock, remove battery compartment door, locate child lock switch and move to ‘unlock’ position. Verify child lock icon on screen is now displayed in ‘unlock’ position.
The remote displays the following message on-screen:No dealer info available| Dealer information not programmed into remote.| Remote will still provide all available functions, and appliance is fully available for use. Call dealer to have them program.
The remote displays the following message on-screen:Call “Dealer Name & Number” toschedule maintenance.| 300 hours of use. Appliance is still fully functional.| The appliance has been burning for 300 hours and is due for a regular maintenance. Call dealer to have them perform maintenance.
****
The room temperature displayed on the remote is either slow or quick to respond while operating in thermostat mode.| Remote is placed at a very short distance or too far away from the appliance.| Try to keep the remote close to the appliance but not directly infront of it. The remote acts as the thermostat.
Remote is placed in the path of an air draft or vent.| Move the remote away from the direct path of air flow. Theremote acts as the thermostat.
**** Flame Modulation| The control system is designed to automatically adjust the flame intensity based on the difference between the desired room temperature, and actual temperature. In thermostat mode, the hearth appliance will start in HI flame, but as the actual temperature approaches the desired set temperature on the remote, the flame intensity will automatically decrease. Automatic flame modulation will result in more control of the temperature, and will cause the appliance to cycle OFF/ON less.
The appliance turns OFF the flameafter extended periods of operation| 9 hour safety shutdown timer| This is normal behavior. The appliance has a safety timer that will automatically turn OFF the flame after nine hours of uninterrupted operation.
The remote displays the following message on-screen: Fan will turn on within 3 minutes|
Functioning as intended.| The appliance has a three minute delay timer before the fan is turned ON. This allows the air surrounding the appliance to be heated before being pushed into the room.
The remote displays the following message on-screen:“Replace remote batteries.”| Low batteries in remote.| Install new batteries in the remote.
The remote is displaying an incorrect brand.| Remote was programmed incorrectly.| Call dealer to have them program the remote with correct branding. Remote is still fully functional and the appliance is unaffected.
After turning flame ON using remote, the flame does not turn ON immediately and instead a two minute timer is displayed.| **** Power vent is installed on the appliance.| This is expected behavior and the two minute timer is called a pre-purge timer. The flame will turn ON at the expiration of the timer.

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

**** Pilot sparks but does not light, after 90 sec, 3 Red/1 Green Lockout| No gas supply.| Verify incoming gas line ball valve is ‘Open’. Verify inlet pressure is within requirement for gas type used. Contact gas supplier.
ECM has poor ground.| Verify wiring, check valve harness black wire is securelygrounded to metal chassis.
Gas valve defective.| Check pilot valve solenoid kick and hold voltages during ignition cycle. Kick V should be >1 V, hold V minimum 0.26 V. If voltages are OK, replace gas valve.
**** Pilot lights but main burner does not light. Pilot continues to spark for 90 sec then goes into 3 Red/1 Green Lockout.| **** No flame detected. Flame rectification issue.| Check if white sense lead is securely connected to ‘S’ terminal of IFT-ECM. Check resistance of sense lead between sense rod tip and connector to IFT-ECM, should be less than 1 ohm- if not, replace pilot assembly. Check system ground, ensure black valve harness wire is securely attached to metal chassis. Check wiring for damage. With system OFF, check resistance between tip of sense rod and pilot hood, should be resistance (>1 M-ohm).
No flame detected or senserod contamination.| With glass assembly installed, verify pilot flame is engulfing flame sense rod on pilot assembly. Verify inlet gas pressure is correct for gas type. Polish flame sense rod with fine steel wool to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated.
Pilot lights and rectifies, but mainburner does not light.| Main valve solenoid.| Check if green wire in valve harness is connected to green main valve solenoid. Check main valve solenoid resistance, nominal is 60 ohms. If open or shorted, replace valve. Verify valve inlet pressure is correct for gas type.
Pilot and main do not light, ECMgoes into 5 Red/1 Green Lockout.| **** Power Vent (PV) Failure.| Power Vent blower defective – check wiring to IFT-ACM, check if blower is working. Check if PV pressure switch is connected to brown and black wire in 6-pin valve wire harness. Check if pressure switch is closed (shorted) when PV blower is running. Refer to PV troubleshooting instructions.
**** Appliance lights and runs for a few minutes then shuts down and/or appliance cycle ON and OFF with less than 90 sec of ON time.| **** Shorted or loose connection inflame detection circuit.| Check if white sense lead is securely connected to ‘S’ terminal of IFT-ECM. Check resistance of sense lead between sense rod tip and connector to IFT-ECM, should be less than 1 ohm- if not, replace pilot assembly. Check system ground, ensure black valve harness wire is securely attached to metal chassis. Check wiring for damage. With system OFF, check resistance between tip of sense rod and pilot hood, should be resistance (>1 M-ohm).
Poor flame rectification orcontaminated sense rod.| With glass assembly installed, verify pilot flame is engulfing flame sense rod on pilot assembly. Verify inlet gas pressure is correct for gas type. Polish flame sense rod with fine steel wool to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated. Verify no soot deposits are in sense rod to pilot hood gap.
Logs are set up wrong.| Remove and re-install logs per the log placement instructions.
****
Damaged pilot assembly.| Verify the pilot assembly ceramic insulator around the flame sensing rod is not cracked, damaged or loose. Check resistance between tip of sense rod and IFT-ECM connector, should be less than 1 ohm. Replace pilot assembly if damage is detected.
