Troubleshooting for Homeowner
A. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUES
SOLUTIONS
1.  Metallic noise.
1.  Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as
it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-
duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not
affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.
2.  White ash buildup on glass.
2.  This is normal. Clean the glass using any non-abrasive
glass cleaner.
3.  Glass has buildup of black soot
3.  Excessive build-up of ash. See solution #4. The lower
burn settings will produce more ash, the higher burn
settings produce less. The more it burns on low the
more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.
4.  Glass has turned dirty.
3.  Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will
produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce
less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-
ing of the glass is required.
5.  Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.
4.  The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs
cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust blower needs
cleaning.
6.  Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash. 5.  Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at
start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4
(6mm) inch at a time until this no longer happens.
6.  Large flame at start-up.
6.  This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is
established.
