Air Shutter Adjustment / Flame
Appearance
The GF 600 DV FIRELIGHT gas stove is shipped from
the factory equipped as a NATURAL GAS STOVE. If
the stove is converted for propane, it will be neces-
sary to adjust the air shutter on the burner tube to
achieve the proper gas to air mixture. The proper air
shutter settings are:
1/2” open for natural
7/8” open for propane
The air shutter can also help achieve the desired
flame appearance. Generally, flame appearance is a
matter of preference, however most people enjoy a
warm yellowish flame.
Air Shutter Too Open - the appliance will
generate a flame that is blue and transparent, or an
“anemic” flame.
Air Shutter Too Closed - the appliance will
generate very long yellow flames resulting in soot.
Sooting produces black deposits on the logs, on the
inside walls of the appliance, and potentially on the
exterior termination cap.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in
the flames and lack of combustion air entering the
air shutter opening.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the burner
tube and using a phillips head screwdriver loosen
the screw at the air shutter and adjust accordingly.
Be sure to retighten the screw that holds the air
shutter setting. Reassemble the stove and close the
door. Allow stove to burn 30 minutes on the HIGH
setting, observing the flame continuously. If the flame
appears weak, slow, or sooty, repeat the process
described above until the flame is as desired.
See Fig. 13.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
ONLY BY A QUALIFIED PROFES-
SIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
