BURNERS AIR SHUTTER CONTROLS
During the initial installation, the Front Burner Rotary Manual Air shutter opening should be checked to make
certain that the shutter is set correctly at 1/16" open for natural gas and 1/4" minimum open for L.P. gas.
NOTE: For altitudes above 5,000 ft., increase to 1/8” Open for NG and 3/8” Open for LPG.
Be sure burner and media are properly installed. After burner has been properly installed and operated for 25-
30 minutes, small additional adjustments to the air shutter may be necessary for final flame appearance. The-
se small shutter adjustments can be made by the following procedure:
[NOTE: Very small changes in shutter settings make major changes in flame appearance.]
This appliance is equipped with a burner that has a manual primary air shutter control.

"orange."
2. If flame is too "orange" and has sooty tips, pull
air shutter knob out (open) in small increments
until sooting stops. IF SOOTING DOES NOT
STOP, TURN OFF UNIT AND CALL YOUR
MENDOTA SERVICE PERSON to inspect the Vent

IMPORTANT: Try each new shutter setting approx.
½ hr. before making additional changes. NOTE:
Changes in front burner flame can be made by re-
arranging the coals and front burner air shutter open-
ing. (See above.)
