M. 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 fl ames This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed
to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from appliance When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of materials from manufacturing. Odor may also be released from fi nishing
materials and adhesives used near the appliance. 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. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance 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 appliance.
Is it normal to see the pilot
fl ame burn continually?
In an IntelliFire ignition system (IPI), the pilot fl ame should turn off when appliance is turned off.
Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow pilot fl ame to remain lit. In a
standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
L. Flame Adjustment Control
Some appliances come equipped with a high/low fl ame
adjustment control.
• Open control access panel
• Compare your valve to Figures 2.4 & 2.5.
• Adjust the fl ame by turning knob as indicated in the photo
matching your valve.
