M. FUEL CONVERSION
Do not burn wood or other material in this appliance.
Natural or propane gas conversions necessary to meet the application need to be made by a qualified technician using Hearth & Home Technologies specified and approved parts.
In the event your appliance must be converted to use propane, you must use a CKP Conversion Kit. To be converted to use natural gas, you must use a CKN Conversion Kit. See Figure 26.
N. START-UP ISSUES
Issue |
| Causes and Possible Solutions | |
|
|
|
|
1. |
| Condensation on the glass: | This is a result of gas combustion and temperature |
|
|
| variations. As the appliance warms, this condensation should |
|
|
| disappear. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
| Blue flames: | This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin |
|
|
| to yellow as the appliance is allowed to burn. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
| Odor from the appliance: | When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for |
|
|
| the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of the |
|
|
| paint and the burning off any any oils remaining from |
|
|
| manufacturing. |
|
|
|
|
4. |
| Film on the glass: | This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and |
|
|
| logs. If the glass is not cleaned within |
|
|
| burning, this may require a nonabrasive cleaner to remove, |
|
|
| such as Brasso. |

O. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Never use gaso- line,
1. CLEANING THE BURNER AND CONTROL COMPARTMENT
Keep the control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components. Always turn off the wall switch (or remote control) and gas valve before cleaning. Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components.
2. CHECKING FLAME PATTERNS
Check the flame of the burner periodically, making sure the flames are steady, not lifting or floating. The flame color should be blue with yellow tips. The thermopile and thermocouple tips should be covered with flame. See Figure 32.
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the venting may cause the flames inside the appliance to lift or “ghost”, which is a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper performance. See Figure 33. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off the gas to the appliance and contact the dealer.
3. VENTING SYSTEM INSPECTION
The appliance and venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified field service person to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Flame covers top 1/2” of thermopile and thermocouple.
