Open the lower control compartment door
(Page 24).
Position the glass door in front of the
firebox opening with the bottom of the
door held away from the fireplace at
approximately a 45° angle. Hook the top
flange of the glass door over the top of the
firebox frame.
Let the bottom of the glass door swing
gently in towards the fireplace ensuring
that the gasket seats evenly as the glass
door draws shut. Fasten the two latches
located beneath the firebox floor to the door
vee-flange.
Install the hood. Use a screwdriver to open
the hood clips slightly if needed. Engage the
back edge of the hood into the clips.

inside the top air channel above the door.
The clips are equally-spaced on the top
surface of the air channel opening.

Flame Appearance and Sooting
The flame should be blue at the base, and
yellow-orange in the body of the flame.
When the appliance is first lit, the entire
flame may be blue and will gradually turn
yellow-orange during the first 15 minutes
of operation. If the flame remains 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 opening is 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.
Sooting is caused by incomplete
combustion in the flames and lack of
combustion air entering the air shutter
opening. To achieve a warm yellow-orange
flame with an orange body that does not
soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted
between these two extremes.
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.
