iNspECTiNG BURNERs

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-

terns often.

PILOT FLAMe PATTeRN

Figure 45 shows a correct pilot flame pattern.

Figure 46 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern.

The incorrect pilot flame is not touching the ther-

mocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to

cool. When the thermocouple cools, the fireplace

will shut down.

If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in

Figure 46

• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-

ance, page 23)

• see Troubleshooting, page 28
Note:

The pilot flame on natural gas units will

have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and

have no yellow or orange color.

Key Pad Lock Feature

This feature allows the user to lock/unlock

the keypad on the hand-held remote in the

MANU or AUTO mode to prevent inadvertent

operation (i.e. children operating the hand-held

remote control, etc.). The keypad is locked in

either on or off. Press the POWER and LOCK

buttons together to turn the unit on or off.

OPTIONAL GWMT1 WALL

MOUNTED THERMOSTAT

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO and set

the temperature adjustment on wall thermostat

to the desired setting. The thermostat has been

electronically calibrated at the factory and

requires no adjustment or leveling.

Upon installation, the thermostat must be al-

lowed to stabilize at room temperature for a

minimum of 30 minutes for proper operation.

See installation instructions on page 19.

OPTIONAL GWMS2 WALL

MOUNTED SWITCH

Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO. This

wall switch works just like the conventional

light switch. Flip the switch up for on and down

for off.
Note:

Make sure that this switch is not in a

position to be mistaken for a light switch. This

may result in the fireplace being inadvertently

turned on without the proper precautions be-

ing taken. See installation instructions on

page 19.

bURNeR FLAMe PATTeRN

Figure 47 shows a correct burner flame pattern.

Figure 48 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern.

The incorrect burner flame pattern shows sporadic,

irregular flame tipping. The flame should not be

dark or have an orange/reddish tinge.
Note:

When using the fireplace the first time, the

flame will be orange for approximately one hour

until the log cures.

If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in

Figure 48

• turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appli-

ance, page 23)

• see Troubleshooting, page 30
