A 5/32 Allen wrench is supplied with unit to make adjustment to the two Allen bolts which

operate the shutter adjustment for rear (top) and front (lower) main burners. These are located

beneath the firebox, behind the control panel on your left at the base of the burner pans.

Light stove and allow to burn for 20 minutes to allow logs to cure. While logs are curing

you may notice a bright orange flame, this is normal. When this flame turns to yellow or disap-

pears, the shutter adjustment can take place.

The shutter is pre-set to the open position at factory, so adjustment may not be necessary.

If flame height adjustment is required, turn the allen bolts counterclockwise to close shutters and

obtain a yellow flame. For a blue flame with more glow, turn the allen bolts clockwise to open the

shutters. Wait 5 minutes for flame to settle. If the flame is not satisfactory, repeat the procedure.

This setting should only require attention during initial set-up.

NOTE: Fireplace must be operating to make this adjustment. An adjustable damper is

built in to the unit to control the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion for

your vent configuration and is also a factor in flame appearance.

The damper control is located above the heat exchanger. Use a flashlight to locate the

Phillips screwhead. Using a long Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screwhead. Above that screw

is an extension rod with a standard driver slot at the end near the front of the unit.

Use a standard screwdriver to make the adjustment while observing flame appearance,

turn counterclockwise until optimum operation occurs. This setting should only require attention

during initial set-up.

The flame of the fireplace is adjustable in order to tailor the look and heat output to your specific

needs. It is adjusted by turning the Comfort Control dial on the control panel, see page 58.

The blower will turn on automatically within approximately 10 minutes after start-up and the

fireplace is up to temperature. This aids in transferring the heat into the living area. The blower

speed can be increased or decreased using the Fan Speed knob on the control panel, see page

54.
