Questions and answers
Our flames are higher than 8 inches above the logs. How do we adjust the height
To adjust the flame height on a Duluth Forge FDLR24-1, follow these steps:
1. Observe the burner flame pattern. A correct pattern should have a steady blue flame approximately 3"–6" above the top of the logs.
2. If the flame shows yellow tipping or is more than 8" above the logs, it may indicate improper combustion or blocked primary air holes.
3. Turn off the heater before making any adjustments.
4. Inspect and clean the primary air holes at the burner entrance if they are blocked with dust or lint.
5. Refer to the troubleshooting section for further guidance if the flame pattern remains incorrect.
Direct flame height adjustment procedures are not specified, but ensuring proper air flow and burner cleanliness helps maintain correct flame height.
