DJUSTMENT
:
The venturi adjustment lever is centered above the control panel.
The venturi allows the amount of air coming into the fireplace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot
flame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the fireplace burn for roughly
fifteen (15) minutes and then examine the flames.
The ideal flame will be blue at the base and
light orange above (see Figure 42). The flames
should be of medium height. If the flames look
like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If
the flames are fairly short and mostly blue, the
fireplace is getting too much air. Therefore, the
air shutter should be closed (push in) slightly
until the correct flames are achieved. Flames
that are very orange, with tall dark stringy tips
are not getting enough air. Open (pull out) the
venturi until the flames clean up. If the venturi is
opened, then closed all the way, and the correct
flames cannot be attained, turn off the gas and
contact the dealer.

Warning:
Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard.
Contact the dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.
