Adjustment

CAUTION: THE AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT ROD (SEE FIGURE 8 ) AND NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT. EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID INJURY WHILE ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE.

To adjust the flame, restate the air shutter adjustment rod toward the back or toward the front of the fireplace (rod located in the lower control area). Position the air shutter to the factory setting as shown in the Table of Figure 8. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty as previously described, adjust the air shutter by pushing or pulling on the adjustment rod until the flame appearance is as desired.

The air shutter adjustment rod and associated adjustable air shutter is patented technology. Flame adjustments can be made quickly and accurately to taste without the need of disassembling the appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after each adjustment.

Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern that may candle or appear stringy. If this is problematic or persists as the appliance is continually operated, adjust the air shutter closed as described in the previous paragraphs.

Operate the appliance for a period of time as the effect diminishes, ensuring that the appliance does not develop sooty flames.

When satisfied that the appliance operates properly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave the control knob in “ON” position and turn the remote switch “OFF.” Close the lower control compartment door.

Vent Restrictor

The appliance has a built-in vent restrictor, refer to Figure 7, page 8 for location, to adjust the flow of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion for all vent configura- tions. Depending on the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restriction position. See below for guidelines.

CAUTION: THE FIREPLACE NEEDS TO BE ON DURING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE VENT RESTRICTOR. USE A GLOVE TO PROTECT YOUR HAND FROM BURNS.
