 Vent Restrictor Adjustment 

CAUTION: The vent restrictor 
must be fully open when using the 
power vent

The vent restrictor is located on the underside of the firebox top. The 
unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor open. The restrictor is 
built into the appliance for secondary air flow adjustment. Adjustment 
enables tuning the airflow for optimum flame appearance and 
performance for a wide variety of vent configurations.

Setting: 

•  Determine the vent height.
•  Determine the vent horizontal length.
•  From the chart determine the restrictor position.

 

Refer to the chart (Figure 43), for the correct position of restrictor for the 
vent configuration of your installation. Restrictor positions are based 
upon lab tests. The ideal position may vary slightly with installation.

Restrictor position is closed too much if the flame has the following 
characteristics:

•  Flame is excessively tall and lifting.
•  Flame lacks movement.
•  Flame soots.

Restrictor position is too open if the flame has the following 
characteristics:

•  Flame height is low.
•  Flame has excessive movement.
 
To adjust the restrictor:

•  Loosen the screws holding the restrictor plates.
•  Move the restrictor plates to its intended opening.

•  Retighten the screws.
