Installation
Checking Operation
Turn the

fl
ame up and down using the
remote control to con

rm that the full range of
inputs is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions in “Appendix B—Remote Control
Operation” on page 65.
Adjusting Aeration
Light the
fi
re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the
fl
ame picture. The burner is
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. The shutter is factory-set to an aeration gap
which will give optimum performance for the vast
majority of installations.
Depending of the 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
will cause the
fl
ames to appear
more transparent and blue showing more ceramic
e
ff
ects glow.
Decreasing aeration
will cause the
fl
ames to appear
more yellow or orange showing less ceramic e
ff
ects
glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming
on logs or roof panel and dropping into the
fi
rebox.
