ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE
Both the burner air shutters and the fireplace’s exhaust damper can be used to adjust and fine tune the
fireplace’s flame appearance. Always let fireplace burn for at least 30
minutes minimum before making final
adjustments. The flame’s appearance will cha
nge as the fireplace heats up.
Air Shutter Adjustments
Be sure burner and logs are properly installed (refer to the specific log set installation manual). After burner
has been properly installed and operated for at least 30 minutes, small additional adjustments to the air
shutter may be necessary for final flame appearance.
Note: Start with the burner air shutters set at
⅛” o
pen for natural gas and
⅜” open for LP gas
. The burner
shutters can be manipulated with the fireplace operating.
Opening the shutter will yield shorter, bluer
flames, and closing the shutter will yield taller, yellower flames.
The burner air shutter adjustment cables are located in the air gap on the left side of the glass door frame.
The top cable will adjust the rear burner and the bottom cable will adjust the front burner. To open or close
the air shutter insert the g
lass latch tool tip in the ring terminal’s ring hole.
Push the cable to close the air
shutter or pull on the cable to open the air shutter.
Procedure for Adjusting Air Shutters
1. Install logs and glass frame and burn unit for 30 minutes.
2. After 30 minutes 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.
Important
: Try each new shutter setting for approximately ½ 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.
Exhaust Damper
This fireplace is equipped with a vent damper system that can be adjusted using the glass latch tool. Locate
damper adjustment rod above the glass frame in convection chamber at the center.
Note
:
If this fireplace’s vent is terminated vertically, the damper position may be full open or full closed
. If
this fireplace’s vent is terminated horizontally, do not close the vent damper completely.
Adjust position of
damper by judging the flame characteristics after 30 minutes of burn time. If the flames ghost off burners or
if sooting occurs, open the vent damper fully and work backward in increments to determine the correct
damper position for that particular installation.
