4.11.2 Log Set/ Media Installation

Three distinctive wood species log sets are available as options for this model Insert.
White Oak Log Set
Installation Instructions for each log set are included with the individual log set. Follow those instructions to install one log set.
Note: Installer, save and give the copy of the Log Set Installation Instructions to the homeowner for future references.

Air Shutter Control and Flame Appearance

During the initial installation, the air shutter opening should be checked to be certain that the shutter is set correctly at 1/8" to
1/4" open for natural gas and ¼" TO 3/8" minimum open for L.P. gas. NOTE: For altitudes above 5,000 ft., some variations may be
required.
Be sure burner and logs are properly installed. After log set has been properly installed and operated for two to three hours,
small additional adjustments to the air shutter may be necessary for final flame appearance. These small shutter adjustments
can be made by the following procedure:
NOTE: Very small changes in shutter settings make major changes in flame appearance.
Note: Two air shutters exist. One for the front burner and one for the rear burner. Both burners need individual adjustment for
flame color and glow effect control.
1. Air shutter controls are located on the right side of the unit, behind facings or door, next to the glass door frame.
2. If flame is too blue, push air shutter in (close)
in small 1/8" increments until flame turns
desired realistic yellow. Use glass latch tool to
hook cable end and push/pull.
3. If flame is dark yellow or is causing soot on
viewing glass, pull air shutter out (open) fully
until soot stops. Continue burning unit with air
shutter fully open for four to six hours until all
internal deposited soot has burned off.
4. Once deposited soot has disappeared, close
air shutter in increments of 1/8".
IMPORTANT: Try each new shutter setting approx. ½
hr. before making additional changes. NOTE: Changes
in front burner flame can be made by re-arranging the
coals and front burner air shutter opening.

4.12 LIGHTING CHECKLIST

Be sure to check these items before final operation of the fireplace Insert.
All items on "Installation Checklist" must be completed.
 Carefully follow all lighting and log installation instructions. Make certain that pilot flame lights immediately and lights

off burner after 5 minutes of initial ignition.
