Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting
A. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE
SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass
This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the fireplace warms, this
condensation 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.
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 burn
continually?
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. In a standing pilot system the pilot will always stay on.
Optional Contemporary Kit
(QUARTZ32/QUARTZ36 only)
It is expected that some smaller pieces of rock may fall through small gaps around the
burner/base pan and may result in a minor noise. This has no affect on fireplace perfor
-
mance and should lessen over time as the glass media becomes conditioned to the heating
and cooling temperature changes.
Optional Glass Liner Kit
It is normal for a white haze to accumulate on the reflective glass panels. Depending upon
frequency of use, it is recommended that the glass panels are cleaned annually with a non-
abrasive commercially available cleaner.
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.
