With proper installation and maintenance, your new Direct Vent Gas Fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do 

experience a problem, refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide below. This guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis 

of problems and the corrective action to be taken.

1.  Spark ignitor will not light pilot after repeated triggering 

of piezo ignitor button.

a.  Defective ignitor (no spark electrode) 

  —Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and 

electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.

b.  No gas or low gas pressure.

  —Check  remote  shut  off  valves  from  fireplace.  Usually 

there is a valve near the main. There can be more than one 

(1) valve between the fireplace and main.

  —Low pressure can be caused by a variety of situations 

such as a bent line, too narrow diameter of pipe, or low line 

pressure. Consult with plumber or gas supplier.

c.  No LP in tank. 

  —Check LP (propane) tank. Refill tank.

2.  Pilot  will  not  stay  lit  after  carefully  following  lighting 

instructions.

a.  Defective thermocouple.

  —Check that pilot flame impinges on thermocouple. Clean 

and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement.

  —Ensure the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is 

fully inserted and tight (hand tight plus 1/4 turn). Faulty 

thermocouple if reading is below specified minimum of 15 

millivolts.

  —Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one 

millivolt meter lead wire on the end of the thermocouple 

and the other millivolt meter lead wire on the thermocouple 

copper wire. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If 

the millivolt reading is less than 15 millivolt, replace the 

thermocouple.

b.  Defective valve.

  —If thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, 

replace faulty valve.

3.  Pilot burning, no gas to burner, valve knob “ON”, REMOTE/

OFF/ON switch “ON.”

a.  REMOTE/OFF/ON switch, wall switch, remote control or 

wires defective.

  —Check REMOTE/OFF/ON switch and wires for proper 

connections. Place jumper wires across terminal at switch. 

If burner comes on, replace defective switch. If OK, place 

jumper  wires  across  switch  wires  at  gas  valve-if  burner 

comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.

b.  Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivolts.

  —If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the 

thermopile, adjust the pilot flame.

  —Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the 

gas  valve  terminals  are  tight  and  the  thermopile  is  fully 

inserted into the pilot bracket.

  —Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the 

reading at TH-TP & TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter 

should read 350 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve 

knob depressed in the PILOT position, with the pilot lit, and 

the REMOTE/OFF/ON switch in the OFF position. Replace 

the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specified 

minimum. 

  —With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile 

leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. 

The reading should be 350 millivolts minimum. Replace the 

thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.

c.  Defective valve.

  —Turn valve knob to ON. Place REMOTE/OFF/ON switch 

to ON. Check with millivolt meter at thermopile terminals. 

Millivolt meter should read greater than 200 millivolts. If the 

reading is okay and the main burner does not ignite, replace 

the gas valve.

d.  Plugged main burner orifice.

  —Check main burner orifice for blockage and remove.

4.  Frequent pilot outage problem.

a.  Pilot flame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high), 

causing pilot safety to drop out.

  —Clean and adjust flame for maximum flame impingement on 

the thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.

5.  The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.

a.  No LP (Propane) in tank. 

 

Check LP (Propane) tank. Refill fuel tank.

b.  Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into system.

  —Check for leaks.

c.  Glass too loose, gasket leaks in corners after usage.

  —Be certain glass assembly is installed correctly.

d.  Horizontal vent improperly pitched.

  —The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough 

to prevent any water from entering the unit. The maximum 

downwards slope is 1/4 inch.

e.  Bad thermopile or thermocouple.

  —Replace if necessary.

f.  Improper vent cap installation.

  —Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or 

blockage.

6.  Glass soots, and/or soot deposits collected on logs.

a.  Flame impingement on logs incorrect.

  —Check  and  adjust  log  position.  See  Page  17.  Contact 

Empire Comfort Systems, Inc.

b.  Debris around throat of main burner.

  —Inspect the opening at the base of the main burner. It is 

imperative that NO material be placed in this opening.

7.  Flame burns blue and lifts off main burner.

a.  Insufficient oxygen being supplied.

  —Check to make sure vent cap is installed properly and free 

of debris. Make sure that vent system joints are tight and 

have no leaks.

  —Check to make sure that no material has been placed at 

the main burner base.
