VENT RESTRICTOR ADJUSTMENT
The vent restrictor is located on the underside of the fi rebox
top. The unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor wide
open. The restrictor is built into the appliance for secondary
air fl ow adjustment. Adjustment enables tuning the airfl ow
for optimum fl ame appearance and performance for a wide
variety of vent confi gurations.
Setting:
- determine the vent height
- determine the vent horizontal length
- from the chart determine the restrictor position
Refer to the chart in Fig. 25 for the correct position of restrictor
for the vent confi guration of your installation. Restrictor posi-
tions are based upon lab tests. The ideal position may vary
slightly with installation.
Restrictor position is too closed if the fl ame has the following
characteristics:
- Flame is excessively tall and lifting.
- Flame lacks movement.
- Flame
soots.
Restrictor position is too open if the fl ame has the following
characteristics:
- Flame height is low.
- Flame has excessive movement.
To adjust the restrictor:
