  Jose FarmerAug 11, 2025
  If the flames on your Continental Fireplaces Indoor Fireplace are consistently too large or too small, consider these possible solutions: * If you're out of propane gas, fill the tank. * Check that the manual valve is turned on. * Ensure the spark gap is correct, it should be 0.150” (3.8mm) to 0.175” (4.5mm) from the electrode tip and the pilot burner. * Check the pilot orifice for blockage. * Check pressure readings. If the issue persists, you may need to call the gas distributor or replace the valve.

Why does the main burner go out but the pilot stays on in my Continental Fireplaces BCDV36CFNTR Indoor Fireplace?

  Todd SchmidtAug 16, 2025
  If the main burner goes out while the pilot stays on in your Continental Fireplaces Indoor Fireplace, it could be due to a few reasons. The pilot flame might not be large enough or not engulfing the thermopile, so turn up the pilot flame. Alternatively, the thermopile could be shorting, so clean the thermopile connection to the valve and reconnect it. You may also need to replace the pilot assembly.

  If the pilot light on your Continental Fireplaces Indoor Fireplace won't light, start by checking if there's a spark at the pilot burner; see if the pilot can be lit by a match. Also check that the wire is connected to the push button igniter and if the push button igniter needs tightening. If the wire insulation is broken or frayed, replace the wire. If the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken, replace the electrode. If these steps don't resolve the issue, replace the push button ignitor.

Another possibility is that the venting action is too great; check to ensure venting is properly sealed.

Why is the main burner flame blue on my Continental Fireplaces BCDV36CFNTR Indoor Fireplace?

  A blue, lazy, transparent flame on your Continental Fireplaces Indoor Fireplace can stem from several causes. The system may not be correctly purged, so purge the gas line. You might be out of propane gas, in which case, fill the tank. The pilot flame might not be large enough, so turn it up, or it might not be engulfing the thermocouple, so gently twist the pilot head to improve the flame pattern around the thermocouple. A thermocouple could be shorting or faulty, so loosen and tighten it, or clean the thermocouple and valve connection, or replace the thermocouple or valve. Additionally, the thermostat or switch could be defective, so connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if the main burner lights, replace the switch/thermostat. Defective wall switch wiring could also be...

What to do if carbon is depositing on the glass of my Continental Fireplaces BCDV36CFNTR Indoor Fireplace?

  If carbon is depositing on the glass, logs, or combustion chamber surfaces of your Continental Fireplaces Indoor Fireplace, several factors could be responsible. First, check if the air shutter is blocked by lint or other obstructions and ensure it's free. Also, verify that the flame isn't directly hitting the logs or combustion chamber; if it is, reposition the logs correctly. You can also try opening the air shutter to increase the primary air. Check the input rate by checking the manifold pressure and orifice size as specified by the rating plate values. Ensure the door gasketing is intact, not broken or missing, and that the seal is tight. Inspect both vent liners for any holes and ensure they are well-sealed at all joints. Finally, confirm that the minimum rise per foot (meter) has be...
