Finalizing the Installation
FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™
Each installation is affected by altitude, vent configuration, and fuel quality. Because of this, the restrictor and air
shutter may need to be fine tuned to each installation. Follow the hints below to fine-tune the burner for
optimum performance and aesthetics.
Restrictor Hints:
Set the restrictor to the position suggested in the vent configuration table (see pages 14-17). Turn the heater
on and allow it to reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due to altitude or
climate, you may wish to adjust the restrictor to a more restrictive position (higher number). Active, flickering
short flames are an indication of excessive draft. If the flames lift off of the burner holes, this indicates not
enough draft (restrictor is set too open). After adjustments are made the unit must be cooled down to room
temperature and restarted to make sure that the restriction is not so severe that the pilot will drop out when it is
restarted. If the pilot does drop out reduce the restriction until it will operate continuously.
Air Shutter Hints:
•
For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.
•
For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.
Correct Flames
The flames should burn right
off the top of the burner ports
(if they are too blue, adjust
the air control).
Warning: If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or
"ghost" – 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 heater and contact
the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
1 0 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be approximately 10" tall. 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.
