Step 10. Burner Adjustments Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is blue at the base and becomes
15minutes of operation. If after a short period the flame stays lowered blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter openings closed too far, sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination. Soot- ing is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellow-

Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
•If there is smoke or soot present, first check the log set positioning to ensure that the flames are not impinging on any of the logs. If the log set is properly positioned and a sooting condition still exists, then the air shutter opening should be increased.
•The more offsets in the vent system, the larger the air shutter opening will need to be.
•An appliance operated with the air shutter opened too far, may have flames that appear blue and transparent. These weak, blue and transparent flames are termed anemic.
•Propane models may exhibit flames which candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more closed position, then operate the appliance for a few more minutes to ensure that the flame normalizes and the flames do not appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for your installation.
