Pilot Flame Pattern: Ensure the pilot flame touches the thermocouple. If the pilot flame is incorrect (not touching the thermocouple), the thermocouple will cool and shut down the fireplace. If the pattern is incorrect, turn the fireplace off and refer to troubleshooting.

Burner Flame Pattern: A correct burner flame pattern should not show sporadic, irregular flame tipping. The flame should not be dark or have an orange/reddish tinge. Note: When using the fireplace the first time, the flame will be orange for approximately one hour until the log cures. The flames should be approximately 6-12 inches above the logs.

Burner Orifice Holder and Pilot Air Inlet Hole: Clean the primary air inlet holes to remove dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair prior to each heating season. Clean the unit every three months during operation. Use compressed air no greater than 30 PSI to clean the burner tube and pilot assembly.

Cleaning Steps:

1. Shut off unit including pilot. Allow unit to cool for at least 30 minutes.

2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air inlet holes on orifice holder for dust and dirt.

3. Blow air through the ports/slots and holes in the burner.

4. Check the orifice holder located at the end of the burner tube again. Remove any large particles with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.

5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the orifice holder.

6. Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot flame indicates dust and dirt. With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet hole.

Log Set: Replace log set if broken or chipped (dime sized or larger).

Cabinet Air Passageways: Use a vacuum cleaner or pressurized air to clean.

Cabinet Exterior: Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap and water mixture.
