Re-installation of the barrier
1. Move the adjustment rod down to increase air flow and up to decrease it. The rod is located in the lower control

2. Light the fireplace. Follow the lighting procedure on the lighting label in the control compartment or
Pages 70-71

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least fifteen (15) minutes while observing the flame continuously to ensure that
the proper flame appearance is achieved (
Figure 35
). If the following conditions are present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears sooty, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more open position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
• If flame remains blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally, to a more closed position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
4. When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal. Turn fireplace to the off position, and reinstall the
facade, then proceed to finish the installation.
