4.16 LIGHTING CHECKLIST
Be sure to check these items before final operation of the fireplace Insert.
All items on "Installation Checklist" must be completed.
Carefully follow all lighting and log installation instructions. Make certain that pilot flame lights immediately and lights
the burner.
DO NOT proceed with operation unless burner cycles "on/off" without delays and the flame is "stable" and not "lifting"
off burner after 5 minutes of initial ignition.
Caution: If ignition system goes into lockout mode, be sure to wait a minimum of five minutes before re-
lighting.
4.17 AIR SHUTTER CONTROL AND FLAME APPEARANCE
During the initial installation, the air shutter opening
should be checked to be certain that the shutter is set
correctly at 1/8" to 1/4" open for natural gas and 1/2"
minimum open for L.P. gas. NOTE: For altitudes above
5,000’, some variations may be required.
Be sure burner and logs are properly installed. After log
set has been properly installed, adjustments to the air
shutter shall be made for final flame appearance. These
small shutter adjustments can be made by the following
procedure:
NOTE: All adjustments to the air shutter
setting must be made by a qualified installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier. Very small
changes in shutter settings make major
changes in flame appearance.
Note: One manual air shutter exists.
1. Air shutter control is located inside the firebox at the gas inlet end of the burner.
2. If flame is too "blue," close air shutter in small 1/8" increments until flame turns desired realistic "yellow." Use glass
latch tool to hook to shutter control lever.
3. If flame is “too dark yellow" or is causing soot on viewing glass or logs, open air shutter fully until soot stops.
Continue burning unit with air shutter fully open for 4 to 6 hours until all internal deposited soot has burned off.
4. Once deposited soot has disappeared, close air shutter in increments of 1/8”.
IMPORTANT: Try each new shutter setting approx. ½ hr. before making additional changes. NOTE: Changes in
front burner flame can be made by re-arranging the coals and front burner air shutter opening.
