CARE AND CLEANING
Inspecting Your Fireplace
!WARNING
DO NOT inspect, clean, move or store your fireplace until the flames are COMPLETELY out
and all parts are cool to the touch.
Your fireplace should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is safe to use and to extend the life of its parts.
Inspect your fireplace:
1. Make sure all parts are securely fastened in place. If a part moves when touched, check its
connection points to see if they are loose.
2. Check all connections for leaks using the method described in the “Checking for Leaks” section
of this manual.
3. Visually check all components for any signs of damage, rust, or excessive wear.
4. If damage or leaks of any kind are found. DO NOT operate the fireplace until the proper
repairs have been made.
General Care and Cleaning
After repeated use, a slight discoloration or weathering of the fireplace finish may occur. Your
fireplace should be cleaned regularly to ensure safe use and extend its life.
General Cleaning
Make a cleaning solution using a mild soap mixed with water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down
exterior surfaces and rinse with clean water. Never use oven cleaners or abrasive solvents as
these will damage the fireplace.
Burner
The burner should be kept clean to ensure proper operation. Clogged burner ports may be
cleared with a paper clip or pin. Debris in the burner tube can be cleaned using compressed
air or a pipe cleaning brush.
Soot
After use it is possible for soot to develop on some surfaces. This soot deposit will usually
come off with water and mild soap.
Storage
1. Turn the LP gas supply off at the tank. Remove the LP gas tank and store it in a cool, dry
location, outside and away from children.
2. Secure all loose filler material or parts.
3. Cover the fireplace when not in use and do not allow water to pool on the cover surface.
Covering the fireplace will help to protect the internal components from dirt and debris

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Fireplace Will Not Ignite
+
-
Back of
Electronic
Igniter Box
Electrode
Wire
If the igniter system is working correctly, you should hear a clicking
sound while the igniter button is being pushed and you should see a
spark inside the igniter housing. If you do not see the spark or hear
a clicking sound, please check the following:
1. Make sure the battery is not dead and that it is installed correctly,
with the positive (+) side facing out.
2. If you still do not hear a clicking sound or see a spark in the igniter
box, look under the fireplace and make sure that the electrode
wire is correctly inserted into the back of the electronic igniter box.
While inspecting the electrode wire, make sure that it is not cut or
broken in any place.
If the Fireplace Will Not Stay Lit
If the fireplace lights, but will not stay lit, or remains lit only for a brief time, please check the following:
1. Make sure that the igniter housing is unobstructed. Clear away any filler material or debris on the
housing and make sure there is nothing between the igniter housing and the closeset nozzle.
Leave opening between
nozzle and igniter housing

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Fireplace Will Not Stay Lit (Cont.)
2. Make sure the thermocouple and igniter pin
are correctly positioned.
Thermocouple - The thermocouple tip should be
located close to the burner, aligned with a
burner nozzle so that flames contact it directly.
Make sure the flames are making contact with
the thermocouple tip.
Damaged Thermocouple
If the igniter housing and the thermocouple tip are clear of debris and the flame is clearly
contacting the tip of the thermocouple, but the fireplace will still not stay lit, the thermocouple
may be damaged. Look beneath the fireplace and find the copper thermocouple wire coming
out of the back of the valve. Examine the length of it for any signs of damage. Sharp bends,
kinks or damage can cause the thermocouple to not function correctly.
Igniter Pin - The igniter pin is where the spark is generated to ignite your fireplace. Make
sure you can see this sparking when the igniter button is pushed.
Other Common Problems
Clogged or Obstructed Burner
It is common for bugs, especially spiders, to make webs or nests inside of burner tubes.
If it seems like you are getting low or no gas flow, visually check all openings in the burner
for signs of clogs. If you see anything clogging the burner try using a pipe cleaning brush
and compressed air to remove the debris.
Out of Gas
Be sure your LP gas tank is not empty. Low tanks can result in lower flames.
Cold Temperatures
Cold temperatures outside may result in lower LP gas tank pressures causing the flames
to be lower. Do not use your fireplace in extreme temperature conditions. Allow
the temperature of your LP gas tank to rise and as the pressure in the LP gas tank
increases the flame size will increase. NEVER heat your LP gas tank; allow it to warm up
naturally.
High Winds
Your fireplace is designed to operate in winds up to 10 mph (16.09 kph). High winds may
cause the flame to blow out. Do not operate your fireplace in high wind conditions.
Igniter Housing
Burn Nozzle
