Flames are very ag-
gressive.
- Venting action is too great.
Tighten door clamps
Restrict vent exit with restrictor plate. See Restricting Vents.
- Door is ajar
Main burner fl ame is a
blue, lazy, transparent
fl ame. - Blockage in vent. Remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup may occur
on the terminal and should be removed as required.
Confi rm installation with venting parameters. - Incorrect installation.

forms. - Sulphur from fuel is being de
posited on glass, logs or
combustion chamber
surfaces. Clean the glass with a recommended gas stove glass cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT.
If deposits are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
- Wiring / Connection Pilot lights
Stops sparking
/ pilot remains lit
but burner will
not turn on Inspect all wires, ensure good tight connections. Verify that all
wiring is installed exactly as specifi ed.
SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION
- Wiring harness Inspect the wiring harness, and verify the harness is tightly con-
nected to the module. Verify that you have 7 wires and they are
connected in the right order.
- Module or Valve Conduct the following test to verify if the problem is the module or
valve. To measure voltages, turn multimeter to "DC" place the red
lead from multimeter on the screw on the terminal block for the
wire you are checking, touch black lead to ground (valve body).
Importantly, a "Zero" volts reading does not automatically indicate
a bad module, there may be too little resistance in the valve so-
lenoid. Check if the Green wire is disconnected from the valve.
The voltage output from the module should be between 2 and
3 volts.
Exhaust fumes smelled
in room, headaches. Check all seals. - Stove is spilling.
Carbon is being depos-
ited on glass, logs or
combustion chamber
surfaces.
- Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion chamber. Check that the logs are correctly positioned.
Open air shutter to increase the primary air.
Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifi ce
size as specifi ed by the rating plate values.
Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and
that the seal is tight.
Check that both vent pipes are free of holes and well sealed
at all joints.
Check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for
any horizontal venting.
- Air shutter has become
blocked Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.
