1. Check if there is power to the unit (fireplace) and to the power vent box.
2. Check if there is gas to the unit (fireplace).
3. The ignition control in the fireplace is equipped with a lockout device which will put the unit into a lockout condition after three attempts to ignite the pilot.
Follow the steps in the chart below to reset the control: Turn the On/Off switch to the off position, or turn the thermostat to the off position.
Wait 10 seconds and then turn to the “on” position.
4. If this is the first time that the unit has been fired, check the wiring of the unit against the wiring diagram before commencing troubleshooting.

Service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or your gas supplier.
BEFORE COMMENCING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE UNIT:
WARNING: Never jump the pressure switch out of this
system. Property damage, injury or death may result.
Check R & W from ignition control board are not crossed between power
vent circuit board and ignition control board. (R) 24V AC Hot must con-
nect to 24V AC Hot at power vent circuit board. (W) Thermostat must
connect to ignition control Hot at power vent circuit board.
Is vent partially blocked?
Is there water/dirt in hose to
pressure switch?
Are hose connections loose?
Is the hose cracked?
Is the hose connected to the
low pressure side of the pres-
sure switch?
