Mantels, combustible or non-combustible, may be constructed as long as proper clearances are observed (see Figure 5, page 6 and Clearances, page 6).

Pilot Assembly Adjustment

The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper flame height. Alteration to factory settings may have occurred during shipping. If this is the case, some minor readjustments may be necessary and should be done by a qualified technician.

The pilot assembly is located behind the burner next to the rear refractory piece at the right-hand side. The thermopile (in millivolt models) or the sensor (in electronic models) should be engulfed with the pilot flame approximately 3/8" to 1/2" in order for the regulator to receive proper signal (see Figures 18 and 19).

The air shutter, located at the base of the main burner tube, has been factory preset to the proper air to bas ratio which results in a long, blue, cleaner burning flame (see Figure 20).

If readjustment is necessary, loosen the air shutter screw and rotate air shutter until proper flame setting is achieved, retighten air shutter screw. See Figure 20 for air shutter location.

Closing the air shutter reduces the air-to-gas mix, resulting in a longer, yellow flame which produces excessive carbon monoxide (CO) and could also cause sooting.
