BURNERS AIR SHUTTER CONTROLS
During the initial installation, the Front Burner Rotary Manual Air shutter opening should be checked to make
certain that the shutter is set correctly at 1/16" open for natural gas and 1/4" minimum open for L.P. gas.
NOTE: For altitudes above 5,000 ft., increase to 1/8” Open for NG and 3/8” Open for LPG.
Be sure burner and logs are properly installed. After burner has been properly installed and operated for 25-
30 minutes, small additional adjustments to the air shutter may be necessary for final flame appearance.
These small shutter adjustments can be made by the following procedure:
[
NOTE: Very small changes in shutter settings make major changes in flame appearance.]
This appliance is equipped with to burners. Each burner has its own primary air shutter control. The rear burn-
er air shutter adjustment control is located on the right side. The Front Burner Air shutter is manual and can
only be adjusted when unit is cold and the logs are removed.
The Rear Burner Air Shutter control is located on the right side of the unit, about 2” above floor level, next to
the glass door frame’s right edge. The Glass Latch Tool is to be inserted in the “eyelet” at the end of the shut-
ter adjustment cable to manipulate the rear burner shutter. Push to close and pull to open.

If flame is too "blue," push air shutter knob in (close) in small increments until flame turns desired realistic
"orange."
2. If flame is too "orange" and has sooty tips, pull air shutter knob out (open) in small increments until soot-
ing stops. IF SOOTING DOES NOT STOP,TURN OFF UNIT AND CALL YOUR MENDOTA SERVICE PERSON
to inspect the Vent System.
IMPORTANT: Try each new shutter setting approx. ½ hr. before making additional changes. NOTE:
Changes in front burner flame can be made by re-arranging the coals and front burner air shutter opening.
