How to Adjust the Air Shutter
The three air shutters (two sides and center) are located to the back of the burner (under the exhaust) and are accessed by removing the glass frame (and the rear log, if needed – see the picture below). The air shutter levers may be adjusted – a screwdriver of other tool may be used to “tap” the lever to the desired position. Slide the shutter towards the back (exhaust) to close, to the front (towards the logs) to open. After adjusting the air shutter replace the glass and verify flame quality.
8.Adjust the flame height to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of the firebox. Check the flame on lowest position. The flames should burn off each burner hole. If the heater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.
