Air Shutter Adjustment / Flame Picture
The Lillehammer is shipped from the factory equipped to use NATURAL GAS. When converted for use with propane gas, the air shutter on the burner tube must be adjusted to achieve the proper gas to air mix.
Air Shutter Settings: See Figure 22.
1/8” open for Natural Gas 3/4” open for Propane
The air shutter can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, however most consumers enjoy the warm yellowish flame.
Too large a setting - the appliance will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.
Too small a setting - the appliance will generate very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the burner tube and using a phillips head screwdriver loosen the screw at the air shutter and adjust accordingly. Be sure to retighten the screw that holds the air shutter setting. Reassemble the stove and close the door, allow stove to burn 30 minutes on the HIGH setting, observing the flame continuously. If the flame appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process described above until the flame is as desired.
Recommended Air Shutter Settings:
Natural Gas - 1/8” open
Propane - 3/4” open
NOTE: Air shutter should never be
LESS than 1/8” open.

Install the Log Set
The Lillehammer is equipped with a one piece log set and is packaged in bubble wrap inside the firebox. The log set must be removed from the packaging and arranged in the unit prior to start up of the gas stove. Do not handle the log set with your bare hands. Always wear gloves to prevent skin irritation from the ceramic fibers.
To install the log set, remove the packaging and place the log set inside the firebox, centered from left to right and completely against the rear wall of the stove. See Figure 23.
A package of Glow Embers is included with the Log Set. These are to be placed across the burner tube on the screen. It is best to equally space these embers for optimum flame appearance. Note: All of the embers do not have to be used.
Use work gloves to handle the ceramic logs and and Glow Embers. These parts can irritate skin. If contact and irritation occurs, gently wash your hand with a mild soap and warm water.
