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

Let the heater burn for thirty minutes.
Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to
achieve the correct looking flame (see
the illustration to on the following
page).
¥
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.
!
If the air shutter is in its fully open
position, yet the flames remain sooty,
shut off gas to the heater and contact
your dealer for a remedy.
NOTE: If the air control is all the way in, 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 12" tall or sooty
on the ends, push the air control in.
If the flames are all blue and
short, pull the air control out.
