Flame Color and Behavior
This appliance is designed for maximum heating efficiency. Therefore,
upon lighting of the main burner, the flames will be semi-transparent or
“bluish.” After 10-20 minutes of operation the logs will heat up and the
flames will become a yellow/orange color.
Adjusting the appliance to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may
result in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See Figures
24A & 24B showing proper flame appearance.
When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed
adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main
burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main
burner operation at both high and low flame.
Paint Curing
This appliance has been painted with a high temperature metallic stove
paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but finishes curing as the
appliance is used. Fire the appliance four successive times for ten minutes
each time with a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate the
house during these first firings as the paint gives off an unpleasant odor.
It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor
air quality avoid the appliance during the curing process.
Quiet Operation
As the appliance is burning, a number of normal operational sounds may
be heard. The flow of gas through the gas valve and orifice may make a
rushing or whistling noise. If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced
by turning down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce total heat
output by more than 30%. When the blower turns on, the sound of rush-
ing air may be heard. The blower sounds may be reduced by adjusting
the speed of the blower assembly. Also, a slight clicking sound may be
heard as the gas valve or blower switch turn on and off.
