Adjustment
CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT ROD AND
NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT.
EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID INJURY WHILE
ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE.
To adjust the flame, move the adjustment rod
up or down (located in the lower control area).
Position the air shutter to the nominal setting
(
Figure 5
). Allow the burner to operate for at
least 15 minutes. Observe the flame continu-
ously. If it appears weak or sooty as previously
described, adjust the air shutter by pushing or
pulling on the adjustment rod until the flame
appearance is as desired.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
The adjustment rod and associated adjustable
air shutter is patented technology. Flame ad-
justments can be made quickly and accurately
to taste without the need of disassembling the
appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after each
adjustment.
Units burning propane 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 paragraphs.
Operate the appliance for a period of time as the
effect diminishes, ensuring that the appliance
does not develop sooty flames.
When satisfied that the appliance operates prop-
erly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave
the control knob in “ON” position and turn the
remote switch “OFF.” Close the lower control
compartment door.
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.
2.
Position the door frame in front of the
firebox opening and engage the top flange over
the lip at the top of the firebox opening.
3.
Swing the door down and back. Ensure the
gasket seats evenly as the door draws shut.
Engage the Vee-flange at the bottom of the
door with the latches and close the latches to
secure the door.
4.
Reinstall the top louver assembly or radiant
panel.
Burner Adjustments
The following paragraphs address burner ad-
justment concerns and procedures.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.
Generally most people prefer the warm glow of
a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated
with air shutter openings that are too large will
exhibit flames that are blue and transparent.
These weak, blue and transparent flames are
termed anemic. If the air shutter opening is too
small sooting may develop.
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.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion 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.
If the logs are properly positioned and sooting
conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the
main burner tube should be adjusted. Nor-
mally, the more offsets in the vent system, the
greater the need for the air shutter to be opened
further.
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,
CRACKED OR CHIPPED GLASS SEPARATELY.
3.
Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment and disengage them from
the floor frame bottom Vee-flange, pulling
down on their handles to open them.
4.
Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top flange of the door frame
away from the appliance.
To install the front glass enclosure panel,
proceed as follows:
1.
Retrieve the glass door frame. Visually
inspect the gasket on the backside of the
panel. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated firmly.
ENSURE THAT THE FRONT GLASS PANEL IS IN
PLACE AND SEALED DURING ADJUSTMENT.
