1.
Light the appliance (follow lighting proce-
dure in
Care and Operation Instructions
or
on lighting label in control compartment).
2.
Allow the burner to operate for at least 30
minutes while continuously observing the
flame to ensure that the proper flame ap-
pearance has been achieved (see
Figures
54 and 55
).
3.
Adjust the air shutter by:
a. Cooling unit completely
b. AFTER unit is cooled completely, re-
move door.
c. Adjust setting by rotating the air shutter
that is located on the right side of burner
assembly.
•If the flame appears weak or sooty (as
described on the previous page), adjust the
air shutter to a more OPEN position until
proper flame appearance is achieved.
• If flame stays lowered blue,
incremen-
tally
adjust the air shutter to a more
CLOSED position until proper flame
appearance is achieved.
NOTE:
See
Figures 54 and 55
for proper
burner flame appearance.
WARNING
HOT GLASS WILL CAUSE BURNS.
DO NOT TOUCH GLASS UNTIL COOLED.
• Fireplace surfaces get EXTREMELY HOT!
• The glass on the front of the fireplace
reaches EXTREMELY HIGH temperatures
and can cause severe burns if touched.
Even after the gas is turned off, fireplace
surfaces remain extremely hot.
CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
•
Air shutter adjustment should only be
performed by a qualified professional
service technician.
•
Soot will be produced if the air shutter
is closed too much. Any damage due
to carboning resulting from improperly
setting the air shutter is not covered
under the warranty.
Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
Procedure
Step 11. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame that is blue
at the base and becomes yellowish-orange in
the body of the flame. When the appliance is
first lit, the entire flame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the first
30 minutes of operation. After 30 minutes of
operation, if the flame is blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated
by black puffs developing at the tips of very
long orange flames. Sooting results in black
deposits forming on the logs, appliance inside
surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to
the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion
in the flames and lack of combustion air enter-
ing the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.
