FLAME APPEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
Be sure burner and logs are properly installed (see Log Set Installation Section in the Owner’s Manual). After burner has
been properly installed and operated for 30 minutes, small additional adjustments to the air shutter may be necessary for
final flame appearance. These small shutter adjustments can be made
by following these procedures:
NOTE: Start with the rear burner air shutter set at 1/8” open for
NG and 3/8” open for LPG. The Rear burner shutter can be ma-
nipulated with the fireplace operating.
Opening the shutter will yield
shorter and blue(er) flames and closing the shutter will yield taller and
yellow(er) flames.
The front burner air shutter adjustment lever is located at the gas entry
end of the Front Burner on the right side. Remove the burner and ro-
tate the air shutter cap open or shut for primary air adjustment.
The rear burner air shutter adjustment lever is located in the air gap on
the right side of the Glass Door Frame. Locate the Ring Terminal on
the right side towards the bottom edge of the Glass Frame. Insert
Glass latch tool tip in the Ring Terminal’s ring hole. Slide this lever to
the “Forward” to Open and to the “Backwards” to close the rear burner
shutter.
1. Install logs and glass frame, and burn unit for 30 minutes
2. If flame is too "blue" close Air Shutters until flames turn yellow.
3. If flames are too "orange" or are causing sooting, open Air Shutters
until flames begin to turn blue. NOTE: If sooting does not stop,
turn off fireplace & call a Mendota Service Person.
IMPORTANT
: Try each new shutter setting for approx. 1/2 hour
before making additional changes.
NOTE:
Changes in front burner flame can be made by re-arranging the coals as well. Densely packed coals will yield
more glow and blue flames. Loosely packed coals will yield less glow and yellow flames.
4. For NG applications, start with the rear burner air shutter open 1/8”. For high altitude applications, air shutter may
need to be open further.
5. For LPG applications, start with the rear burner air shutter open ¼”. For high altitude applications, air shutter may
need to be opened further.
