Turn the  replace up and down using the remote control to con rm
that the full range of inputs is achieved.
Light the  re and allow to warm up for 10––15 minutes to evaluate
the  ame picture.
The burner is equipped with an adjustable air
shutter to control primary aeration. See  gures 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,
 ame 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  ame to appear more
transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects
glow more.
Decreasing aeration will cause the  ames 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 fi rebox.
This unit is equipped with a vent safety switch, located
on the right side of the draft hood, which will shut the
burner off if the vent is not functioning properly. Use
a match or a source of smoke at the front of the draft
channel to check direction of  ow in the vent. Access to
the vent switch for servicing is shown below.
