If air shutter is 
closed too far

increased
If air shutter is 
open too far
Flame will 
be blue

Step 10. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper fl ame appearance is a fl ame which is 
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange 
in the body of the fl ame. When the appliance 
is fi rst lit, the entire fl ame may be blue and will 
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the fi rst 
15 minutes of operation. If after a short period 
the fl ame stays lowered blue, or if the fl ame is 
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the 
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter openings closed too far, sooting 
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs 
developing at the tips of very long orange fl ames. 
Sooting results in black deposits forming on the 
logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior 
surfaces adjacent to the vent termination. Soot-
ing is caused by incomplete combustion in the 
fl ames and lack of combustion air entering the 
air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellow-
ish-orange fl ame with an orange body that does 
not soot, the shutter opening must be adjusted 
between these two extremes. 
WARNING
Handle this glass with extreme 
care! Tempered glass is suscep-
tible to damage – do not scratch 
or handle roughly while rein-
stalling the glass door frame.
WARNING
Do not operate appliance with the 
glass front removed, cracked or 
broken. Replacement of the glass 
should be done by a licensed or 
qualifi ed service technician.
WARNING
Do not attempt to substitute the 
materials used on this door, or 
replace cracked or broken glass 
with any materials other than 
those provided by the appliance 
manufacturer.
WARNING
The glass door of this appli-
ance must only be replaced as 
a complete unit as provided by 
the manufacturer. Do not attempt 
to replace broken, cracked or 
chipped glass separately.
WARNING
Do not attempt to touch the front 
enclosure glass with your hands 
while the fi replace is in use.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, fi rst check
the log set positioning to ensure that the 
fl ames are not impinging on any of the logs. 
If the log set is properly positioned and a 
sooting condition still exists, then the air 
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have fl ames that appear 
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and 
transparent fl ames are termed anemic. 
• Propane models may exhibit fl ames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present 
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more 
closed position, then operate the appliance 
for a few more minutes to ensure that the 
fl ame normalizes and the fl ames do not 
appear sooty. 
The following chart is provided to aid you in 
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment for 
your installation.
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the 
glass panel. The gasket surface must be clean, 
free of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
2. Position the glass enclosure panel in front of
the fi rebox opening at a 45 degree angle and 
engage the top fl ange over the lip at the top 
of the fi rebox opening. See Figure 55.
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the 
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-fl ange at 
the bottom of the panel with the latches and 
close the latches to secure the panel.
4. Reinstall top louver assembly and control
compartment door see installation instruc-
tions on Page 27 , Reinstalling Control 
Compartment Door).
Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Remove the top louver assembly by lifting it 
up and pulling it out.
2. Remove the control compartment access
door (see removal instructions on Page 27 
- Removing Control Compartment Door).
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment. To disengage the two 
latches from the bottom vee-fl ange of the 
glass enclosure panel, reach for the handles 
located towards the back of the latches and 
pull the handles down toward the front of 
the appliance.
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top fl ange of the door 
frame away from the appliance.
