With proper installation and maintenance, your new Gas Fireplace will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a 

problem, refer to the troubleshooting guide below. This guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of problems and 

the corrective action to be taken.  Refer to page 24 for initial startup and GAS Line purge instructions.

SYMPTOM

CHECK

ACTION

No spark when system is turned to “ON” 

and reset cycle* has been completed.

Check for 120V between black “hot” line 

at  control  module  and  “white”  return  at 

module.

If 120V not present, check fuse or circuit 

breaker  or  repair  wiring  leading  to 

fireplace.

Spark for six (6) seconds at ignitor, but no 

ignition of burner. 

a. Check that gas is turned on and system 

purged.

Turn gas on and/or purge system.

b. Check that tips of ignitor are directly 

above ports on main burner. Spark is 

between  electrodes  and  not  from  one 

electrode to burner.

Position  electrodes  so  tips  are  directly 

above burner port ports and about ¼" to 

3

/

8

" above burner.

c. Check for 120V at each coil on the gas 

valve and listen for click, indicating gas 

valve is opening.

If  120V  present,  but  gas  valve  does  not 

click, replace gas valve.

Spark  for  six  (6)  seconds,  main  burner 

lights, but goes out when spark stops.

Check  for  clean  ground  path  between 

electrode  bracket  and  fireplace  chassis. 

Check  wiring  to  wiring  diagram  label. 

Check for broken electrode on high-tension 

lead attachment to module.

Clean, position according to wiring diagram, 

and repair defective electric connections. If 

all  electrical  connections  are  clean  and 

correct, replace module.

Main burner lights normally and then goes 

out.

a. Check ignitor to burner gap.

Igniter should be located 1/4" to 3/8" above 

burner area.

b. Check high-tension lead and connector 

for shorts. 

Replace spark electrode assembly.

c.  Refer  to  installation  instructions 

troubleshooting  guide  for  issues  such 

as venting.

Repair as required.

The conversion shall be carried out in accordance with the 

requirements of the provincial authorities having jurisdiction 

and in accordance with the requirements of the CSA B149.2

Instructions for converting your direct ignition fireplace from 

natural gas to propane/LP gas.

All direct ignition fireplaces are shipped from the factory equipped 

to operate on natural gas. To convert the direct ignition fireplace 

to operate on propane/LP gas, follow the instructions on Page  

26. Please see the appropriate parts list for your model for parts 

included with the direct ignition fireplace.
