Burner Flame Adjustments

WARNING
• Air shutter adjustment should
only be performed by a quali-
fied professional service tech-
nician.
• Ensure glass enclosure panels
are in place and sealed during
adjustment.
CAUTION
• Soot will be produced if the
air shutter is closed too much.
Any damage due to sooting,
resulting from improperly
setting the air shutter, is not
covered under the warranty.
• The air shutter door and
nearby appliance surfaces
are hot. Exercise caution to
avoid injury while adjusting
flame appearance.
1. Refer to Figure 43 for proper flame ap-
pearance. To adjust the flame, rotate the
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
in Figure 44.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure
on lighting label in control compartment or
see lighting instructions on Pages 45 and
46).
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15
minutes while observing the flame continu-
ously to ensure that the proper flame ap-
pearance has been achieved. If the following
conditions are present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
• If flame remains blue, adjust the air
shutter, incrementally, to a more closed
position until the proper flame appear-
ance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the
ON position (millivolt appliances) and the
burner OFF/ON switch OFF (and remote
switches, if applicable).
5. When satisfied that the burner flame appear-
ance is normal, re-install the lower control
compartment door.

The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting
or floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" minimum (tip)
of the quick drop out thermocouple should be
engulfed in the pilot flame.
The flame should project 1" (26 mm) beyond
the hood at all three ports (see Figure 45).
Replace logs if removed for pilot inspection.
To light the burner; turn "ON" the control
switch and rotate the gas valve control knob
counterclockwise to the "ON" position ("ON"
will be at the top side of the valve).
