Burner aeration
Check Operation
Turn the
fi
replace
fl
ame up and down using the remote
control to con
fi
rm that the full range of inputs is
achieved—see
Appendix B – Remote Control Operation
pages 46–49 for details.
Adjust Aeration
(if needed)
Light the
fi
re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the
fl
ame picture. Burners are
equipped with an ajustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See
fi
gures below. The shutter is factory-set to
an aeration gap which will give optimum performance
for the vast majority of installations.
In some installations, depending of the fuel bed used,
the altitude and other considerations, the
fl
ame picture
may be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need
for adjustment should be determined ony by operating
the appliance with the fuel bed and window installed
and evaluating the
fl
ame picture after a 15-minute
warm-up.
Increasing aeration
(open) will cause the
fl
ames to
appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic e
ff
ects glow.
Decreasing aeration
(close) will cause
fl
ames to appear
more yellow or orange showing less ceramic e
ff
ects
glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming and
dropping into the
fi
rebox.
