Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not be sooty or come in
continuous contact with the firebox ceiling. 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.

FINE TUNING THE EMBER-FYRE™ BURNER

Each installation is affected by altitude, vent configuration, and fuel quality. Because of this, the restrictor and air
shutter may need to be fine tuned to each installation. Follow the hints below to fine-tune the burner for
optimum performance and aesthetics.

Restrictor Hints:

Set the restrictor to the position suggested in the vent configuration table. Turn the heater on and allow it to
reach full temperature (15 min.). If the flames indicate there is excessive draft due to altitude or climate, you may
wish to adjust the restrictor to a more restrictive position (higher number). Active, flickering short flames are an
indication of excessive draft. If the flames lift off of the burner holes, this indicates not enough draft (restrictor is
set too open). After adjustments are made the unit must be cooled down to room temperature and restarted to
make sure that the restriction is not so severe that the pilot will drop out when it is restarted. If the pilot does
drop out reduce the restriction until it will operate continuously.

Air Shutter Hints:

• For more glow, open the air shutter, however, this will make the flames more blue.

• For yellow flames, close the air shutter, however, this may create less glow.

The flames should burn right
off the top of the burner ports
(if they are too blue, adjust
the air control).

Lifting flames indicate
insufficient draft (restrictor
is set too high).

Ghosting flames indicate

other venting error).

Ghosting Flames

Flickering Flames

Flickering, short flames
indicate excessive draft
(move air shutter to a higher
position).

Warning: 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.
