Sulphur from fuel is being
deposited on glass, logs or
combustion chamber sur-
faces.
- clean the glass with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
Pilot goes out
while standing;
Main burner is in
'OFF' position.
Gas piping is undersized. - turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot flame flutters, dimin-
ishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor
appliance supply working pressure.
- check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
Flames are con-
sistently too large
or too small.
Carboning occurs.
- check pressure readings:
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clock-
wise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the
test point. Gauge should read 7" (minimum 4.5") water column for
natural gas or 13" (11" minimum) water column for propane. Check
that main burner is operating on "HI".
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw
(B). Gauge should read 3.5" water column for natural gas or 10"
water column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on
"HI".
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN
SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVERTORQUE.
Leak test with a soap and water solution.
Unit is over-fired or under-
fired.
