Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation
These are direct-vent appliances. They are de-
signed to operate only when the front glass
enclosure panel is installed. Generally the front
glass enclosure panel should not be removed
except to gain access to the components within
the firebox.
Refer to
Figure 4
and remove the front glass
door assembly as follows:
To remove the firescreens, lift up the left side
of the screen rod and slide it to the left until the
right side of the rod is disengaged from the
hole. Slowly remove the rod and the firescreens
from the fireplace. Using a Phillips screw-
driver, unfasten two (2) screws located at the
top of the glass frame
.
ENSURE THAT THE FRONT GLASS DOOR
ASSEMBLY IS IN PLACE AND SEALED AFTER
ADJUSTMENT.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combus-
tion in the flames and a lack of combustion
air entering the air shutter opening. To
achieve a warm yellow to orange flame with
an orange body that does not soot, the
shutter opening must be adjusted between
these two extremes. No smoke or soot
should be present. Reposition the logs if the
flames impinge on any of them.
To adjust the flame, move the adjustment air
shutter (located on the lower venturi) back or
forward to increase or reduce the air shutter
opening, respectively.
Position the air shutter
to the factory setting as shown in
Figure 5 on
page 7
.
Allow the burner to operate for at least
15 minutes. Observe the flame continuously.
If it appears weak or sooty as previously de-
scribed, adjust the air shutter until the flame
appearance is as desired.
Figure 4
When satisfied that the appliance operates
properly, proceed to finish the installation.
Leave the control knob in “ON” position and
turn the remote switch “OFF.”
Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern
that may candle or appear stringy. If this is
problematic or persists as the appliance is
continually operated, adjust the air shutter
closed as described in the previous para-
graphs. Operate the appliance for a period of
time as the effect diminishes, ensuring that the
appliance does not develop sooty flames.
Adjustment
If the logs are properly positioned and sooting
conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the
main burner tube should be adjusted. Normally,
the more offsets in the vent system, the greater
the need for the air shutter to be opened further.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE APPLI-
ANCE WITH THE GLASS FRONT RE-
MOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN. RE-
PLACEMENT OF THE GLASS SHOULD
BE DONE BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
WARNING: HANDLE THIS GLASS WITH
EXTREME CARE! GLASS IS SUSCEP-
TIBLE TO DAMAGE – DO NOT SCRATCH
OR HANDLE ROUGHLY WHILE REIN-
STALLING THE GLASS DOOR FRAME.
WARNING: NO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUB-
STITUTE THE MATERIALS USED ON THIS
DOOR, OR REPLACE CRACKED OR BRO-
KEN GLASS WITH ANY MATERIALS
OTHER THAN THOSE PROVIDED BY THE
APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER.
THE GLASS DOOR OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST
ONLY BE REPLACED AS A COMPLETE UNIT
AS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE BROKEN,

Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing
at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting
results in black deposits forming on the logs,
appliance inside surfaces and on exterior sur-
faces adjacent to the vent termination.
Tilt the glass frame at the top away from the
unit. Lift it carefully off the bottom door track
and set the door aside, protecting it from
inadvertent damage.
To install the front glass door assembly,
proceed as follows:
1.
Retrieve the glass door assembly. Visually
inspect the gasket on the backside of the
panel. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated firmly.
2.
Position the door frame in front of the firebox
opening and engage the bottom flange over the
rail at the bottom of the firebox opening.
3.
Swing the door up and back. Ensure the
gasket seats evenly as the door draws shut.
Engage the nut insert and fasten with two
screws to secure the door.
4.
With the firescreens hanging on the
screen rod, slide the right side of the rod
through the hole. Then engage the left side
of the rod through the slot while making sure
that the rod is supported by the bracket in the
center of the fireplace.
Burner Adjustments
The following paragraphs address burner ad-
justment concerns and procedures.
When lit for the first time, this appliance will
emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is
due to the “burn-in” of internal paints and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Refer to the maintenance schedule for mainte-
nance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by
whom they should be performed. Always
verify proper operation of the appliance after
servicing.
IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS AND ANY
ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING
THE APPLIANCE.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Appliances operated with air shutter openings
that are too large will exhibit flames that are blue
and transparent. These weak, blue and transpar-
ent flames are termed anemic. If the air shutter
opening is too small sooting may develop.
