Note: The burner may light if hand-held re-

mote was on when selector switch was last 

turned off. You can now turn the burner on 

and off with the hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:

 Do not leave the selector switch 

in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot 

is not lit. This will drain the battery.

INSPECTING BURNERS

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame 

patterns often.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the 

proper  flame  height. Alterations  may  have 

occurred during shipping and handling. Call 

a qualified service person to readjust the pilot 

if necessary.
The height of the thermopile must be 3/8" to 

1/2" above the pilot flame as shown in Figure 

22. The thermocouple must be at a height of 

about 1/8" above the pilot flame. The flame 

from the pilot burner must extend beyond both 

the thermocouple and thermopile.
If  you  pilot  assembly  does  not  meet  these 

requirements:
•  turn fireplace off (see 

To Turn Off Gas to 

Appliance

, page 12)

•  see 

Troubleshooting

, page 17

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Figure 23 shows correct burner flame pattern.

NOTICE: Do not mistake orange 

flames with yellow tipping. Dirt 

or other fine particles are burned 

by  appliance,  causing  brief 

patches of orange flame.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown 

in Figure 24.
•  turn appliance off (see 

To Turn Off Gas to 

Appliance
