The S50 has an internal exhaust restrictor that can be adjusted externally. Depending on the venting con-
figuration this may need to be adjusted. The restrictor dial is accessed from the top of the fireplace, below
the top plate (refer to the section “Lifting the Top Plate” on page 15 for instructions). Using a 7/16” socket,
rotate the restrictor CLOCKWISE until the desired setting is in-line with the finger catch. The proper setting
is crucial for an efficient burn and best flame appearance.
It may be necessary to deviate from the recommended setting as different altitudes and climates can vary the
operation of the fireplace. With propane (LP) fueled fireplaces, it is always a good idea to offer slightly less
restriction for higher altitudes to reduce the potential of sooting over an extended period.
*Note: The restrictor is set in the fully open position from the factory.
