THERMOSTAT
CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on this fire- place differs from standard thermostats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat used on this fireplace senses the room tempera- ture. The thermostat adjusts the amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame height. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the set temperature.
The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb mea- sures the temperature of air near the fire- place cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depending on housing construction, installation location, room size, open air temperatures, etc.). Frequent use of your fireplace will let you determine your own comfort levels.
INSPECTING
BURNER
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pattern often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 23 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 24 shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is not touch- ing the thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to cool. When the thermo- couple cools, the fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 24
•turn fireplace off (seeTo Turn Off Gas to Appliance)
•see Troubleshooting, pages 16 through 18

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 25 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 26 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping of the flame. It also shows the flame higher than one inch above the log.
Note: When using the fireplace the first time, the flame will be yellow for approxi- mately one hour until the log cures.
WARNING: If yellow tipping occurs, your fireplace could pro- duce increased levels of carbon monoxide. If burner flame pattern shows yellow tipping, follow in- structions at bottom of this page.
NOTICE: Do not mistake orange flames with yellow tipping. Dirt or other fine particles enter the fireplace and burn causing brief patches of orange flame.
If burner flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 26
•turn fireplace off (seeTo Turn Off Gas to Appliance)
