Gas Burner Air Shutter

NOTE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the syst em
for proper combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutters, be sure tha t all
lint is removed from lint compartments and lint
screen.
Air shutter adjustment will vary from location to
location and will depend on the vent system, number
of units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure.
Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary
air supplied to the burner, while closing the shutter
decreases the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as
follows:
Refer to Figure16.
1. Remove the upper access panel and burner
inspection hole plate.
2. Start the tumble dryer and check the flame
pattern. If the flame pattern is straight up,
insufficient air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. A flame pattern that flares to the right and
left indicates no air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if
the flame pattern is primarily blue, with small
yellow tips, and bends to the left of the heater
section. Too little air is indicated if the flame is
yellow, lazy and smoky.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter
adjusting screw.
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain
proper flame intensity.
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.
