Check Operation
Turn the fi replace fl ame up and down using the
remote control to confi rm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 8–13.
Adjust Aeration (if necessary)
Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the fi gures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
Depending of 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.
Increasing aeration (open)
will cause the fl ames
to appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic log glow.
Decreasing aeration (close)
will cause the fl ames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
log glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the fi rebox.
