8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your fireplace logs set, consider the following:

• Unit Shuts Off Prematurely: If the unit cycles off too soon, ensure the copper thermostat sensor is not too close to the flames. It may need to be adjusted or moved slightly away from direct flame contact. Refer to the full product manual for specific sensor placement guidelines.
• Difficulty Starting: Check the AAA battery in the Piezo ignition. Ensure gas supply is open and the pilot light is clean.
• No Flame Adjustment: This model typically has a fixed flame height. Flame intensity is generally not adjustable beyond the thermostat settings.

For persistent issues, consult a qualified service technician.
