AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
Air Shutters are required to increase or decrease the amount of air that is
mixed with the fuel before combustion. This will have an affect on how well
the fuel combusts and how the lame appears physically.
Low primary air will leave a taller, yellower lame while higher primary air will
leave a lower, bluer lame.
This setting is largely for appearance, however, not enough primary air may
lead to carboning, sooting or a lame that reaches the top of the irebox.
Situations that may require more primary air are; units that are burning
propane, units installed at higher elevations or units that are run on high
most of the time.
The LRI4E / HRI4E are equipped with an air shutter that is accessible from
outside the irebox and can be adjusted during operation.
Aeration adjustments should only be made after the unit has been on for 30
minutes to 1 hour.
Slide the Air Shutter Lever towards you to increase the primary air setting.
Slide the Air Shutter away from you to decrease the primary air setting.
Below you will see a chart showing the minimum primary air settings.
These are set from the factory, but due to fuel conversions or installation
conditions, the air setting may need to be adjusted.
