Removing the Glass Enclosure Panel
(see Figure 31)
Remove the top louver assembly. Open the lower
control compartment door (see Figure 22 on
Page 13) by pressing in simultaneously at the
left and right top corners of the door (the door
is hinged at the bottom).
Remove the bottom compartment door by
sliding the hinge pin, located at the door's left
side, to the right until it disengages from the
left corner post hole. Pull the door diagonally
to the left, away from the fireplace.
Locate the latch at the top of the control
compartment and disengage it from the door
frame bottom vee-flange, pulling down on the
handle to open it.
Installing the Glass Enclosure Panel
(see Figure 31)
Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket
surface must be clean, free of irregularities
and seated firmly.
Position the door in front of the firebox opening
with the bottom of the door held away from the
fireplace (see Figure 31). Hook the top flange of
the door frame over the top of the firebox frame.
Let the bottom of the door frame swing gently
in towards the fireplace ensuring that the
gasket seats evenly as the door frame draws
shut. Fasten the latch located underneath the
firebox floor to the door's vee-flange. Close the

STEP 11. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame that is blue
at the base and becomes yellowish-orange in
the body of the flame.
When the appliance is first lit, the entire flame
may be blue and will gradually turn yellowish-
orange during the first 15 minutes of operation.
If the flame remains blue, or if the flame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far,
sooting may develop. Sooting is indicated by
black puffs developing at the tips of very long
orange flames. Sooting results in black deposits
forming on the logs, appliance inside surfaces
and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent
termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in
the flames and lack of combustion air entering
the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
Glass Door
• Propane models may exhibit flames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not
appear sooty.
NOTE: The following chart is provided to aid you
in achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.
