Check Operation
Turn the
fi
replace
fl
ame up and down using the remote
control to con
fi
rm that the full range of inputs is
achieved—see Appendix B - Remote Control Operation
on pages 75-81 of this manual.
Adjust Aeration (if needed)
Light the
fi
re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the
fl
ame picture. The burner is
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. The shutter is factory-set to an aeration gap
which will give optimum performance for the vast
majority of installations.
Depending of the fuel bed used, altitude and other
considerations, the
fl
ame picture may be improved by
adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment should
be determined only by operating the appliance with the
fuel bed, panels and window installed and evaluating
the
fl
ame picture after a 15-minute warm-up.
The installer is responsible for verifying aeration
setting for ALL installations.
Increasing aeration
(air shutter open) will cause the
fl
ames to appear more transparent and blue showing
more ceramic e
ff
ects glow.
Decreasing aeration
(air shutter close) will cause the
fl
ames to appear more yellow or orange showing less
ceramic e
ff
ects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming on logs or roof panel and dropping into the
fi
rebox. May also result in carbon or soot stains on
the vent termination and exterior wall around the
termination! The Manufacturer is not responsible for
for any damage caused by an air shutter setting with
too little aeration.
