The fireplace ignites but there are no flames
Open the gasline.

Insulation that is put around the pilot flame has to be checked and put back in its place, if necessary it has to be replaced.
Mechanism of the pilot flame needs to be replaced (by fitter). 

The flames in the middle are higher than the ones on the sides.
Spread the pebbles again, if necessary put lesser pebbles.
There has been some time between installing and lighting the fireplace for the first time: because  of the humidity and dust, the wholes in the burner may be blocked.
Clean the appliance with a vacuumcleaner.  Open the wholes with a pointed object e.g. a small nail.  Devide the pebbles equally over the burner and bottom of the combustion chamber.

General

The appliance burns, but extinguishes suddenly without any reason
For some reason, a safety has interrupted the gas supply.  Trace the cause of it: is there enough fresh air, is the flue free?
After the pilot flame has extinguished, you have to wait for 5 minutes before you can restart the fireplace.
            
After the appliance is lit, there’s an odor coming from the appliance
When first operated, the appliance may release an odor.  This is caused by the curing of the paint.  This is a normal result!  Ventilate the room thoroughly.

The stucco on the wall shows bursts on the frontside
The appliance has not been properly covered with insulation or not insulated at all.
The consequences are that there is heat transfer to the other materials.  Contact your professional dealer.

The corners on the frontside of the fireplace are damaged
The brickwork or stucco has been done too close to the fireplace.  Contact your professional dealer.

Dirt is falling into your fireplace
Have your flue swept by a professional chimney-sweeper.
