6 Let the heater burn for thirty minutes. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct
looking flame (see the illustration below).
• The air shutter adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas before it exits the burner holes. It is
used to fine-tune the flame for differences in altitude and vent configuration.
Air Shutter Adjustment
Gas Control Valve
NOTE: If the air shutter 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.
Air Shutter Control
Pushing to the left gives the flame less air
(making it more orange). Pushing to the
right gives the flame more air, making it
more blue. For fine adjustments use a
screwdriver to tap the air shutter.
ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER
! If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly the vent may cause the flames inside the heater to lift or
“ghost” – a dangerous situation. Inspect the flames after installation to insure proper performance. If
the vent configuration is correct, yet the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the heater and
contact the dealer for information on remedying the problem.
! Failure to properly adjust the air shutter may lead to improper combustion and a safety hazard. Consult
your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
The flames should burn right off
the top of the burner ports (if they
are too blue, adjust the air control). If the flames are lifting, yet the
vent configuration is correct,
contact your dealer.

If the flames are ghosting, yet the
vent configuration is correct,

7 Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should be a maximum 9” to 10” tall.
Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If the heater does
not work correctly, contact your dealer for a remedy.
