3.18 AIR SHUTTER CONTROL AND FLAME APPEARANCE
During initial installation, the air shutter opening
should be checked to be certain that the shutter is set
correctly at 1/16” -1/8" open for natural gas and 1/4"
minimum open for L.P. gas.
NOTE: For altitudes above 5,000’, some variations may
be required.
Be sure burner media are properly installed. After
burner media has been properly installed,
adjustments to the air shutter shall be made for final
flame appearance. These small shutter adjustments
can be made by the following procedure:
NOTE: All adjustments to the air shutter
setting must be made by a qualified
installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Very small changes in shutter settings make
major changes in flame appearance.
Note: One manual air shutter exist.
1. Air shutter control is located inside the firebox as shown.
2. If flame is too "blue," close air shutter in small 1/8" increments until flame turns desired realistic "yellow." Use glass latch tool to
hook to shutter
control lever.
3. If flame is “too dark yellow" or is causing soot on viewing glass or logs, open air shutter fully until soot stops. Continue burning
unit with air shutter fully open for 4 to 6 hours until all internal deposited soot has burned off.
4. Once deposited soot has disappeared, close air shutter in incre
ments of 1/8”.
Air shutter settings hint: A properly adjusted air shutter setting will yield burner flames that have an
approximate 2” high blue color base. If yellow colored flames are starting at burner level, air shutter is
closed too far and will cr eate soot. If you observe that the flame is yellow starting very close to or at the
burner surface level, open air shutter. Also, if a log or part of a log is suspended and hanging inside a yellow
portion of the flame, soot can form easily on the part of t he log that is inside the yellow flame area.
IMPORTANT: Try each new shutter setting approx. ½ hr. before mak ing additional changes. NOTE: Changes
in front burner flame can be made by re -arranging the coals and front burner air shutter opening.
