RESTRICTOR USAGE:
Turn fireplace on and allow to burn for 15 minutes. If flames indicate there is excessive draft (flickering, short flames) or insufficient draft
(lifting or ghosting flames) a restrictor may be necessary, or previously installed restrictor may need to be modified or rem oved.
If it is determined that a restrictor is needed or restrictor modification is required after termination is installed, access can be reached
through the fireplace baffle. Please remove logs and refractory to avoid damaging these components.
1. Remove (2) nuts securing baffle. Remove baffle to expose venting.
2. Depending on your specific needs, determined by chart above along with other factors, make necessary modifications.
3. If installation of a restrictor (included in components packet) is necessary, bend tabs on restrictor to approx. 80 degree angles to create
tension when inserted into exhaust pipe on fireplace. Insert restrictor into 4” exhaust pipe with tabs pointing towards you.
4.
If modification is necessary, remove restrictor by pulling it down and out of 4” exhaust pipe.
5. Reinstall baffle, secure with (2) nuts previously removed.
6. Reinstall refractory and log set.
7. Attach glass frame assembly and light fireplace. Wait 15 minutes before determining if any further modifications are necessary.

FLAME APPEARANCE
DRAFT PROBLEM
RESTRICTOR SOLUTION
Short, flickering
Excessive draft - not enough restriction
Add restrictor
Lifting or ghostingª
Insufficient draft - too much restriction
Remove inner ring (s) on restrictor or
remove restrictor
ª Improper venting installation may cause flames to lift or “ghost”
- a dangerous situation. Inspect flames after installation to ensure proper
performance. If it is determined that venting is correct and the restrictor has been removed, yet flames are still lifting or ghosting, shut off
gas supply to fireplace and call a qualified service technician.
Remove nuts and baffle to expose venting.
