SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION
Pilot will not light. No spark at pilot burner. - Check if pilot can be lit by a match.
- Check that the wire is connected to the push button igniter.
- Check if the push button igniter needs tightening.
- Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.
- Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked
or broken.
- Replace the push button ignitor
Out of propane gas. - Fill the tank.
Spark gap is incorrect. - Spark gap should be 0.150” (3.8mm) to 0.175” (4.5mm)
from the electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure
proper electrode location, tighten securing nut (
fi nger
tight plus 1/4 turn).
No gas at the pilot burner. - Check that the manual valve is turned on.
- Check the pilot ori fi ce for blockage.
- Replace the valve.
- Call the gas distributor.
Flames are consistently
too large or too small.
Carboning occurs. Unit is over- fi red or under fi red. - Check pressure readings:
- Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A)
counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure
gauge tubing over the test point. Gauge should read as
described on the chart below.
Check with main burner is
operating on ‘HI’.
- Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above
using screw (B). Gauge should read as described on the
chart below. Check that main burner is operating on ‘HI’.
- AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO
TURN SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL.
DO NOT OVER TORQUE.
- Leak test with a soap and water solution.
-
Flames are very aggressive. Door is ajar. - Ensure the mechanical means of securing the door is
providing a tight seal.
Venting action is too
great. - Check to ensure venting is properly sealed.
- If restriction is required see “RESTRICTING VERTICAL
VENT” section.
Carbon is being
deposited on glass, logs
or combustion chamber
surfaces. Air shutter has become
blocked. - Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other
obstructions.
Flame is impinging on the logs
or combustion chamber. - Check that the logs are correctly positioned.
- Open air shutter to increase the primary air.
- Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and
ori
fi ce size as speci fi ed by the rating plate values.
- Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing
and that the seal is tight.
- Check that both vent liners are free of holes and well
sealed at all joints.
- Check that minimum rise per foot (meter) has been
adhered to for any horizontal venting.
