The air shutter settings listed above were set based on an
appliance that was vented of the top with one 90 degree
elbow and the maximum horizontal vent run permitted; this
vent configuration is considered to be a more restrictive
vent configuration. For less restrictive venting, such as
short horizontally terminating or a vertically terminating
appliance, the shutter may be adjusted to a more “closed”
position.
Natural Gas (NG) installations
:
As a general rule, it is acceptable to reduce the shutter
opening to adjust for short horizontally terminating or
vertically terminating vent configurations. prior to the
initial fire up.
Propane (P) installations
• It is recommended that the air shutter on propane
appliances remain at the setting preset at the factory.
Air Shutter Adjustment

the wing nut shown in Figure 9.1. Push/Slide the wing
nut toward the back of the appliance to close the shutter.
Pull/Slide the wing nut toward the front of the appliance to

Air shutter settings should be adjusted by a qualified ser-
vice technician at the time of installation.

Note:
Visually, a propane flame may differ from a
natural gas flame. This is due to the different chemical
compositions that make up both fuel types. In general,
the propane (P) flames may be a little shorter and much
brighter than a natural gas (NG) flame.
