Steps for Finalizing the Installation

1. Remove the glass (see page 20).

NOTE:

If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.

2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to

be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting the appliance. Start the pilot.

Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.

4. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection

The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.

Standard
Screwdriver

The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and

thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or

down as necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise

lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

5. Install the logs (see page 22).

6. Replace the glass.

7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place. The flames should
look like the illustration below. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

NOTE: If the air control is all the way open,
yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to
the fireplace and contact a qualified gas
service technician.

Correct

Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are over 14" tall or sooty on
the ends, open the air shutter.

Not Enough Air

If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.

Too Much Air

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Move the controls left or right until the flame
looks correct. The rear air shutter affects
the rear portion of the burner, the front air
shutter the front portion of the burner.
Pushing to the right gives the flame more
air, making it more blue. Pushing to the left
gives the flame less air, making it more
orange.

There are two air shutters on this fireplace - adjust both air shutters to obtain the correct flame.
