Flame Appearance / Air Shutter
Adjustment
This stove is shipped from the factory equipped to burn
Natural gas. If the stove has been converted for use with
propane, the Air Shutter may require adjustment to
achieve the desired flame appearance. Other installation
related variables can also affect the flame picture. The Air
Shutter may be opened or closed to provide the best flame
picture for your specific installation.
Too large an air opening - the appliance will generate a
flame that is blue and transparent, or an "anemic" flame.
Too small an air setting - the appliance will generate
very long yellow flames resulting in soot. Sooting pro-
duces black deposits on the logs, on the inside walls of the
appliance, and potentially on the exterior termination cap.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in the flames
and lack of combustion air entering the air shutter open-
ing.
Air Shutter Adjustment should be done only by a qualified
gas technician.
1. Reach under the right side of the stove and loosen the
wingnut located closest to you. See fig. 25. Slide the
wingnut stud forward to open the air shutter and back
to provide less air. Make adjustments in small incre-
ments.
2. Tighten the wingnut to secure the shutter at the de-
sired setting.
3. Allow the stove to burn for 30 minutes on the HIGH set-
ting, observing the flame continuously. If the flame ap-
pears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process described
above until the flame is as desired.

Remote Control

Use only a 750 millivolt DC two-wire circuit thermostat
with this appliance. The thermostat should be placed
in the same room as the heater, typically 5 feet off the
floor. Avoid drafty areas or any area that may affect the
accuracy of the thermostat.
The thermostat should be connected to the stove us-
ing a minimum of 16 gauge wire with a maximum length
of 25 feet of wire.
Connect the two thermostat wire leads to the two
left terminals on the terminal block located directly
above the ignitor button. Do not overtighten the con-
nections. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT ANY
OTHER WIRES. See Fig. 26.
For thermostatic operation, the On/Off/T-Stat switch
on the back of the stove must be in the T-stat position,
and the pilot light must be running, as it is the power
source for the thermostat.
At the thermostat, the two wires should be connect-
ed to the two connection screws on the thermostat base
plate per the manufacturer's instructions.
Remote Control
When using a remote, the remote receiver should be
wired to the terminal block the same way the thermo-
stat would be. See the instructions above.
Follow the operating instructions included with the
Remote Control unit.
CAUTION:
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN
SERVICING THE CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE
IMPROPER OR DANGEROUS OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY
PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
