Turn the fireplace up and down using the remote control to confirm

that the full range of inputs is achieved.

Light the fire and allow to warm up for 10–15 minutes to evaluate

the flame picture.

The burner is equipped with an adjustable air

shutter to control primary aeration. See figures below. The shutter is

factory-set at an aeration gap, which will give optimum performance

for the vast majority of installations. In a few unusual installations,

flame picture may be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need

for adjustment should be determined only by operating the appliance

with the ceramic fuel effects and window installed.

Increasing aeration will cause the flame to appear more

transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects glow more.

Decreasing aeration will

cause the flames to appear

more yellow or orange making

the fuel effects glow less.

Too little aeration may result

in black carbon forming and

dropping into the firebox.

Note: The fret retainer brackets are designed to

maintain the required space in front of the window to

allow the window to move and relieve during a hard

start. It is very important to ensure this area in front

of the window is kept clear at all times.

Fret Retainer Brackets Installation

Screw 2 thumbscrews into sides of each support

leg if not done previously when support legs were

installed. Fit the slotted holes in the fret retainers over

the thumbscrews, push fret retainers downwards and

tighten screws.
