ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt
meter a the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter
should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is ac-
ceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace
the gas valve.

6. Glass soots. a. Flame impingement. Adjust the log set so that the fl ame does not exces-
sively impinge on it.
b. Improper air shutter setting. Adjust the air shutter located on the control panel.
c. Debris around air shutter. Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MA-
TERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.
7. Flame burns blue
