 P121-2/P121LC-2/P121RC-2/P131-2 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

It is possible that you will hear some sounds 
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal 
due to the fact that there are various gauges 
and types of steel used within your appliance. 
Listed below are some examples. All are normal 
operating sounds and should not be considered 
as defects in your appliance.

 gas appliances  use high tech blowers 

to push heated air farther into the room. It is not 
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound 
when ON.

Burner Tray: 
The burner tray is positioned directly under the 
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different 
gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox and 
body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel 
will expand and contract at slightly different 
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking" 
sounds. You should also be aware that as there 
are temperature changes within the unit these 
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal 
for steel fi reboxes.

Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON 
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the 
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame: 
While the pilot fl ame is on it can make a very 
slight "whisper" sound.

Gas Control Valve: 
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a 
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal 
operation of a gas regulator or valve.

Unit Body/Firebox: 
Different types and thicknesses of steel will 
expand and contract at different rates resulting 
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be 
heard throughout the cycling process.
