Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a clockwise 

direction to reduce the gas flow.
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise 

until loosened and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. 

Gauge should read 7” (minimum 4.5”) water column for natural gas or 13” 

(11” minimum) water column for propane. Check the inlet pressure while 

the main burner is operating on “HI”.
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B). Gauge 

should read 3.5” water column for natural gas or 10” water column for 

propane. Check that main burner is operating.
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, TIGHTEN SCREWS FIRMLY 

TO SEAL. DO NOT OVER TORQUE.

ADJUSTMENTS

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT

Air shutter adjustment must

 be done by a qualified installer!

Air shutter opening has been factory set according to the chart below:  

Access the air shutter, located on the bottom of the burner pan. Remove 

the four screws attached to the burner pan. Slide the burner pan to the 

left roughly 1” then lift up.
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to 

carboning.  Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but 

can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not appear 

yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to 

be established.

Adjustment is required depending on fuel type, vent configuration and 

altitude.
