Steps for Finalizing the Installation
1.Remove the glass (see page 28).
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.
2.We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3.Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
4.Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

5.Install the logs (see page 30).
6.Replace the glass.
7.Check the air shutter following the directions below.
Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place. The flames should look like the illustration below. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.
ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER
Pushing the control to the right gives the flame less air (closed) - making it more orange. Pushing to the left gives the flame more air (open), making it more blue. For fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap
the air shutter.
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.
