Troubleshooting

Log Set Is Smoking/Sooting Excessively

It is natural and unavoidable for vented gas log sets to produce moderate levels of carbon (soot) where

ﬂame contacts the logs. The logs can be cleaned using a soft-bristle brush. However, if soot is pro-

duced where there is no ﬂame impingement, one of the following may be the cause:

Fireplace venting system not drafting properly: Make sure the damper is wide open at all times.

Preheat the ﬂue in very cold weather by burning the log set at a very low level, then slowly increas-

ing the ﬂame height over a matter of hours. Have the ﬁreplace and the venting system professionally

cleaned.

Excessive ﬂame impingement or blockage:

Make sure there is proper spacing between the logs so

they are not smothering the ﬂame. Rearrange the logs so they are touched less by the ﬂames.

Excessive gas supply/pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the ﬁreplace does not ex-

ceed the maximum pressure allowed with this gas set (refer to tables on page 4). If you are using the

gas logs with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the correct oriﬁce into the set.

Burner Is Excessively Noisy

Please note: The movement and combustion of gas will create low, unavoidable levels of noise.

Excessive gas pressure: Make sure the gas pressure coming into the ﬁreplace does not exceed the

maximum pressure allowed with this gas set (refer to tables on page 4). If you are using the gas logs

with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the correct oriﬁce into the set.

Passage of air/gas across irregular surfaces: There may be burrs, paint, or other blockages on the

burner bar ports. Check these ports and remove any blockage.

Gas Connector: Relieve any tight bends or kinks in the Flexible Gas Connector. Switch to a smooth

aluminum gas connector, which can be purchased at any hardware or home improvement store.

Burner Flame Is Too High (8-12” Above Top Logs) Or Too Low

(Below Top Logs)

Incorrect gas supply, pressure, or burner oriﬁce used: Make sure the gas pressure coming into

the ﬁreplace falls between the minimum and maximum pressures allowed with this gas set (refer to

tables on page 4). If you are using the gas logs with a safety pilot kit, make sure you installed the

correct oriﬁce into the set.

Blocked ports (low ﬂame only): Free the main burner oriﬁce and burner bar ports of any burrs,

paint, or other blockage.
