TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: Turn off fireplace, disconnect power if applicable and
let cool before servicing. Only a qualified service person should
service and repair fireplace.
CAUTION: Never use a wire, needle, or similar object to clean

pilot. This can damage pilot unit.
Note: The two most common causes of malfunctioning gas appliances are loose wiring con-
nections and construction debris clogging pilot and/or control valve filter.
Note: Before troubleshooting the system make sure gas shut off valve is open.
