INALIZING THE
6 Check the pilot flame
to make sure it looks
like the illustration to
the right. Adjust the
pilot flame if
necessary.
7 Let the heater burn
for fifteen minutes.
Adjust the air shutter,
if necessary, to
achieve the correct
looking flame (see
the illustration to the
right).
¥ The air shutter
adjusts the
amount of air that
mixes with the
gas before it exits
the burner holes.
It is used to fine-
tune the flame for
differences in
altitude and vent
configuration.
! If the air shutter
is in its fully
open position, yet
the flames remain
sooty, shut off
gas to the heater
and contact your
dealer for a
remedy.
! If the vent
configuration is
installed incorrectly
the vent may cause
the flames inside the
fireplace to lift or "ghost" Ð a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure
proper performance. If the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
8 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be between 12" and 16".
Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does
not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
9 Give this manual to the home owner and fully explain the operation of this heater.

NSTALLATION
The pilot flame should impinge the top 3/8Ó of the
thermopile. If it does not, you may need to turn
the pilot up.
Thermopile
3/8Ó
Locate the air shutter adjustment
lever behind the gas control valve.
Move it up or down until the flame
looks correct. Pushing up gives the
flame more air (making it bluer).
Pulling it down cuts air down,
making it more orange.
NOTE: If the air control is all the
way up, yet the flames remain
sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace
and contact a qualified gas service
technician.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.
The flames should burn right off
the top of the burner ports (if they
are too blue, adjust the air control).
