I. Fire Characteristics & Flame Height
Adjustment
(Feed Rate) A properly adjusted fire will have an active
flame pattern and the flame will rise and fall somewhat.
This is normal.
•
On HIGH setting, the flame will extend approximately 8
inches (203mm) out of the fire pot. If it is not 8 inches
(203mm) tall, increase the flame height.
•
On MEDIUM or LOW setting the flame will be shorter.
•
Reduce the flame height if the fire has tall flames with
black tails and seems somewhat lazy. This may also
indicate that the fire pot and/or heat exchanger needs
to be cleaned. Refer to Section 4 for Maintenance and
Cleaning Instructions.
Adjusting the Flame Height (Feed Rate)
•
Set your appliance to “MANUAL” mode on the wall
control.
• Set the heat output level to HIGH.
•
Adjust the flame height using the “FLAME HEIGHT
ADJUST” screen on the wall control
(Figure14.1)
