Accessing the Control Module
Always turn off gas and electrical supply to
the fireplace before servicing the controls.
1. Remove the barrier screen and glass door
assemblies, and set them aside in a safe
location.
2. It is not necessary to remove decorative
glass media from the burner cover or
accent glass panels to gain access to the
control module.
3. The control module is in the lower front
corner of the fireplace bottom. It is
secured to the fireplace with Velcro. The
gas control and variable halogen lighting
wiring is routed through the lower right
side opening to the gas valve and variable
halogen lighting wire connections in the
firebox. The 120V power cord is routed
through the lower right side opening and
plugged into the Junction Box receptacle.

Maintenance
Maintenance frequency must be determined
individually for each application. Some
considerations are:
• Exposure to water, dirt, chemicals and heat
can damage the gas control and shut down
the control system.
• Cycling frequency. Fireplaces that may cycle
20,000 times annually should be checked
monthly.
• Intermittent use. Fireplaces that are used
seasonally should be checked before
shutdown and again before the next use.
• Dusty, wet or corrosive environment.
Because these environments can cause the
gas control to deteriorate more rapidly, the
system should be checked more often.
• Any control should be replaced if it does not
perform properly on checkout or service. In
addition, replace any module if it is wet or
looks like it has been wet.
Service
Do not disassemble the gas control
;
it contains non-replaceable components.
Attempted disassembly or repair can damage
the control. Exactly follow the warnings and
the lighting instructions.
1. Before lighting, smell around the fireplace
area for gas. If the fireplace uses propane
(bottled) gas, be sure to smell next to the
floor because propane gas is heavier than
air. If you smell gas, immediately shut off
the manual valve in the gas piping to the
fireplace or on propane at the tank. Do not
try to light any appliance. Do not touch any
electrical switch or use the phone. Leave
the building and call your gas supplier. If
your gas supplier cannot be reached, call
the fire department.
2. The gas control must be replaced if it has
been flooded with water. Call a qualified
service technician.
3. The gas control is a safety device. It
must be replaced in case of any physical
damage such as bent terminals, missing
parts, stripped threads, or evidence of
exposure to excessive heat.
Follow the operating instructions provided by
the manufacturer of your appliance.
NOTE
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to
give off some expansion and/or contraction
noise during the start up or cool down cycle.
Similar noises are found with your furnace
heat exchanger or car engine.
It is normal for your gas fireplace to give off
some odor the first time it is burned. This is
due to the curing of the paint and oil from the
manufacturing process. Please ensure that
your room is well ventilated - open a window.
