Air Shutter Adjustment / Flame Appearance

The GF 600 DV FIRELIGHT gas stove is shipped from the factory equipped as a NATURAL GAS STOVE. If the stove is converted for propane, it will be neces- sary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube to achieve the proper gas to air mixture. The proper air shutter settings are:

1/2” open for natural 7/8” open for propane

The air shutter can also help achieve the desired flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a matter of preference, however most people enjoy a warm yellowish flame.

Air Shutter Too Open - the appliance will generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.

Air Shutter Too Closed - 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.

See Fig. 13.
