Typical
fl
ame appearance
The pilot light and burner
fl
ames should be checked
periodically. Check after the
fi
re has been on for at
least 30 minutes. The pilot
fl
ame must cover the tip
of the thermocouple probe. The main burner
fl
ame
pattern will vary depending on the type of installation
and climatic conditions.
Performance of propane gas
fi
replaces may be
a
ff
ected by the quality of commercial gas supplied
in your area.
The
fi
replace area must always be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl
ammable vapors and liquids.
Inspect the vent terminal outdoors regularly to ensure
that it is not obstructed by snow, trees, bushes, leaves,
or other objects.
Inpect the vent system regularly. We recommend at
least once a year.
Sooting
Check your
fi
replace and outside terminal for any
sooting. Minor amounts of soot developing on logs
is common but soot that builds up, falls o
ff
and
accumulates indicates the burner needs adjustment
or the logs may be installed incorrectly. Contact your
dealer for remedies to excessive sooting.

Note
The height and color of your flames can vary
depending on fuel type, fuel quality and mixture,
altitude, and aeration adjustment at or after
installation.
The photos of typical flame appearance are for
illustrative purposes only. Your fireplace may
be operating normally but may appear slightly
different than the photos.
Venting configuration, elevation, burner aeration
setting and local fuel heating value can all affect
flame appearance.
