C. Back drafting may be tripping the spill switch.

Negative pressure, wind or flue blockage may be

 

 

causing spillage. Perform negative pressure diagnos-

 

 

tics and inspect venting.

 

 

 

 

D. Valve.

Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/

 

 

OFF switch in the ON position. Take a reading with a

 

 

millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt

 

 

meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading

 

 

is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, re-

 

 

place the gas valve.

 

 

 

 

E. Plugged burner orifice.

Check the burner orifice for stoppage. Remove stop-

F. Wall switch or wires.

Check the wall switch and wires for proper connec-

 

 

tions. Place the jumper wires across the terminals at

 

 

the wall switch. If the burner comes on, replace the

 

 

wall switch. If the wall switch is OK, place the jumper

 

 

wires across the wall switch wires at the gas valve. If

 

 

the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connec-

 

 

tions are bad.

A. Flame impingement.

Adjust the log set so that the flame does not exces-

B. Improper air shutter setting.

Refer to manual for shutter set points. Ensure that set

 

 

point is correct for appliance/gas type. If unit has ad-
