Burner flame adjustment (shutter opening) has been factory preset (for natural gas) to proper

air-to-gas ratio. This ratio results in an even, clean burning flame across burner (see Figure 40).
If adjustment is necessary, you can restore proper flame setting by loosening air shutter screw

and rotating air shutter until proper setting is achieved (see Figure 41). Correct shutter open-

ings are: 3/16'' for natural gas and fully open for propane/lp gas.

OPERATION

OPERATION GUIDELINES

• When used for the first time, fireplace may

emit a slight odor for about 16 to 24 hours.

This is normal and is due to “curing” of logs

and “burn-in” of internal paint and lubricant

used in manufacturing process.

• Keep compartments, logs, burners and

area surrounding logs clean by vacuuming

and brushing at least twice a year or as

necessary.

• Turn off gas and remote switch before

servicing appliance. Any safety screen or

guard removed for servicing the fireplace

must be replaced prior to operation.

• Have a qualified agency periodically inspect

vent system at the start of each heating

season for any obstruction which will hinder

its normal operation. Never obstruct flow

of combustion and ventilation air. Keep

front of fireplace clear of all obstacles and

materials.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

A. This appliance has a pilot which must

be lighted by hand. When lighting the pi
