Finalizing the Installation
! Make sure the gas control valve is “OFF” and the heater is cool prior to conducting service.
1 Remove the glass (see page 22)
2 Install the log set and coals (see page 24).
! 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 Replace and secure the glass (see page 22)
4 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.
5 Check the pilot flame to make sure it looks 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 (NOTE: if totally
unscrewed gas will come out of this port). Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
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.
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.
