Operating Instructions
Convection fan operation is optional, it will come on only when the fireplace is up
to temperature (approximately 15 minutes). The speed of the fan can be changed
by turning the fan control knob. The blower will continue to operate automatically
after the unit has been shut off (approximately 25 minutes).To turn the blower off,
turn the knob counter-clockwise until it “clicks” off (Figure 5).
It is advisable not to operate the blower below

speed as it puts a strain on the
windings of the blower which could also cause premature fan failure.

The air shutter plays a very important role in flame appearence and combustion quality. The shutter
adjusts how much air gets mixed with the gas before it ignites; adjustments can be made to accomodate
various climates and vent configurations.
Remove surround to access the air shutter. Find the two levers underneath the firebox (see Figure 6). The
front and rear burners can be controlled independently. Moving either lever inward will make the flame
appear more yellow and tall; moving the lever outward will make the flames appear more blue and short.
Typically natural gas flames will require
the shutter to be more closed.
Typically LP flames will require the
shutter to be more open.
If you cannot attain a healthy flame by making
air shutter adjustments, you may have the
incorrect restrictor setting or venting problem.
If the flame is very flickery, fast moving, and
low then increase the restriction.
If the flame is very tall, lazy, and dirty then
decrease the restriction.
More details can be found in the venting section
of this manual.
Caution: Wear heat resistent gloves when
making adjustments to the air shutter.
Perform adjustments after 15 minutes.
