Flame Appearance -
Air Shutter Adjustment

WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE
PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
The air shutter setting at the burner orifice can be
adjusted to achieve the desired flame appearance. The
shutter is set in the mid-range at the factory, however,
you will want to adjust it if a fuel conversion kit has been
installed or if the flame pattern is not as desired. The
adjustment stem is located under the firebox, directly
behind the gas control valve. Generally, flame appearance
is a matter of preference, however most people enjoy a
warm yellowish flame.

Too much air - the appliance will generate a flame

that is blue and transparent, or an “anemic” flame.

Not enough air - the burner 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. Open the shutter setting to allow more air.
To adjust the air shutter:
1.
Locate and loosen the adjustment stem wingnut

protruding from the bottom of the firebox, directly
behind the gas valve. See fig. 26.

2. Push the stem back to decrease air, or pull it forward to

increase air. Make adjustments in small increments
(1/8”) and allow the burner to “ settle in” for a few
minutes before making another one. Small shutter
adjustments can produce dramatic changes to flame
characteristics.

4. Re-tighten the wing nut when the desired flame

appearance has been achieved.
