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 al-
lowed 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 the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Odor may
also be released from
fi
nishing materials and adhesives used around the appliance.
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
fi
replace 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 intermittent pilot 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.
Glass rock media color change
It is normal for the glass rock media to change color slightly over the lifetime of the
appliance.
