Step 12. Adjustments – The following para- graphs address adjustment concerns and pro- cedures.

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste. Generally most people prefer the warm glow of a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated with air shutter openings that are too large, or with long vertical vent runs, will exhibit flames that are blue and transparent. These weak, blue and transparent flames are termed anemic.

If the air shutter opening is too small sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits form- ing on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termi- nation. Sooting is caused by incomplete com- bustion in the flames and a lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening.

To achieve a warm yellow to orange flame with an orange body that does not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted between these two extremes.

No smoke or soot should be present. Reposi- tion the log set if the flames impinge on any of them.

If sooting conditions exist, the air shutter open- ing on the main burner can be adjusted. Nor- mally, the more offsets in the vent system, the greater the need for the air shutter to be opened further.

WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

Adjustment

To adjust the flame, position the air shutter to the nominal setting (Figure 33 ). Allow the burner to operate for at least 30 minutes. Observe the flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty as previously described, adjust the air shutter open or closed until desired effect is achieved.

When satisfied that the appliance operates prop- erly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave the control knob/lever in “ON” position and turn the remote switch “OFF.” Replace the refractory access panel.

FINISHING REQUIREMENTS

Wall Details

Appliance Facing Flush with Finished Wall -

Complete finished interior wall. To install the appliance facing flush with the finished wall, position framework to accommodate the thick- ness of the finished wall (Figure 35 and 37 ).

Surround Materials Relative to Appliance Facing-

Surround materials (noncombustible) can be placed around the appliance facing to provide a flush surface between the sur- round materials and the appliance front fac- ing. Do not cover the louvers of the GHC or the bottom control compartment access on the GRD. (Figures 36 and 38 ).

Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front face.

Hearth Extensions

A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to con- form to standard hearth extension installa- tion requirements.
