AIR SHUTTER:
The air shutter is controlled with the primary air adjustment rod located behind the gas valve shown in Figure 41.
The air shutter allows the amount of air coming into the replace to be adjusted in order to accommodate different
climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot ame is burning
normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the replace burn for roughly fteen minutes and then
examine the ames, compare the ames to Figure 50.
The ideal ame will be blue at the base and light orange above. The ames should be of medium height. If the
ames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed. If the ames are fairly short and mostly blue, the replace
is getting too much air. Therefore, the air shutter should be closed slightly until the correct ames are achieved.
Flames that are very orange, with tall, dark, stringy tips, are not getting enough air. Open the venturi until the
ames clean up. If the venturi is opened, or closed all the way, and the correct ames cannot be attained, turn off
the gas and contact the dealer.
Warning: Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard. Contact the
dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.
