To determine if the air shutter needs 
adjustment, it is necessary to view the flame 
pattern with the variable output control knob 
at its highest setting. Allow the unit to 
operate for at least 10 minutes to allow the 
entire unit to reach temperature, and for the 
flame pattern to stabilize. Generally, the 
more air (open shutter) in the mixture, the 
bluer the flame. Less air (closed shutter) 
results in a more yellow flame, but too little 
air will result in incomplete combustion, low 
efficiency and a dirty burn. There are two 
simple guidelines to aid in determining the 
correct flame pattern: 
 

1.

 

If the flame at the base of the logs is 
completely blue, the air shutter may 
be open too far; 

2.

 

If the flame is dirty or licks the top 
of the stove, the air shutter may be 
closed too far. 

 
Some conditions cannot be corrected 
through air shutter adjustment; an 
adjustment must be made to the gas supply 
pressure or by changing the restriction plate 
location. Qualified service personnel must 
perform supply line/manifold gas line 
pressure adjustments and restrictor plate 
adjustments. Do not attempt to complete any 
part of the installation or adjustment of this 
unit unless technically qualified to do so.

NOTE: 

The gas control knobs and the piezo 

igniter are located behind the control valve 
access door, under the front of the unit. 
1.

 

STOP! Read the What To Do If You 
Smell Gas! Warning (on the cover of 
this manual). 

2.

 

Set the on/off/T’stat switch or thermostat       
to the “OFF” position.  

3.

 

Unplug the fan accessory, if so 
equipped. 

4.

 

Push in and turn gas control knob 
clockwise to “OFF”. 

 (If not previously 

lit, the knob should be in this position.)

 

5.

 

Wait (5) five minutes to clear out any 
gas.  If you then smell gas, STOP! 

Smell 

all around the appliance area for gas. 
Be sure to smell next to the floor because 
some gases are heavier than air and will 
settle on the floor. If you smell gas 
immediately follow the What To Do If 
You Smell Gas! 
warning on the cover of 
this Manual.

 If you do not smell gas, 

proceed to the next step. 

 
6.

 

Turn gas control knob counter-clockwise 
to “PILOT”. 

7.

 

Push in control knob all the way and 
hold in. Immediately light the pilot with 
the gas lighter (push in and “click” the 
piezoelectric spark igniter button several 
times until lit). Continue to hold the 
control knob in for about 20 seconds 
after the pilot is lit. Release the knob and 
it will pop back out. Pilot should remain 
lit.  If the pilot goes out, repeat the 
operation. 

 

 

If knob does not pop out when released, 
stop, shut off the gas supply to the heater 
and immediately call a qualified service 
technician or gas supplier. 

 

 

If the pilot will not stay lit after several 
tries, turn the gas control knob “OFF” 
and call a qualified service technician or 
gas supplier. 

 
8.

 

After the pilot lights, turn gas control 
knob counter-clockwise to “ON”. 

9.

 

If the ON/OFF/T’stat switch is set to 
“ON”, the stove should now be lit. If the 
thermostat (or remote) has been 
installed, set the ON/OFF/ T’stat switch 
to “T’stat” and turn the thermostat (or 
remote) to “ON”. Then set the desired 
temperature.
