To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.

WARNING
69. MAIN GAS BURNER AIR INLET
SHUTTERS
(All Gas Models)
Refer to Figure 22.
Air inlet shutter adjustments will vary from
location to location and will depend on the vent
system, number of units installed, make-up air and
line gas pressure. Opening the shutter increases
the amount of primary air supplied to the burner
while closing the shutter decreases the air supply.
Adjust the air shutter as follows:
a. Remove access panel.
b. Start tumbler and check the flame pattern.
Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if the
flame pattern is primarily blue, with small
yellow tips, and bends to the left of the heater
section. Too little air is indicated if the flame is
yellow, lazy and smokey.
c. To adjust the air inlet shutter, loosen locking
screw.
d. Slide shutter in or out as necessary to obtain
desired flame intensity.
e. After shutter is adjusted, tighten locking screw
securely.
f. If the flame pattern is straight up, insufficient
air is flowing through the tumbler. A flame
pattern that flares to the right and left indicates
that no air is flowing through the tumbler.
The air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient primary air is
metered into the system for proper
combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutter be sure
that all lint is removed from lint
compartment and lint screen.
