Vent Damper Adjustments
This fireplace is equipped with a vent damper system that can be adjusted using the glass latch tool. Locate damper adjustment
rod above the glass frame in convection chamber at the center. If this fireplace’s vent is terminated horizontally, DO NOT CLOSE
the vent damper completely. Adjust position of damper by judging the flame characteristics after 20 minutes of burn time. If the
flames ghost off burners or if sooting occurs [in LPG units], open the vent damper FULLY and work backwards in increments to
determine the correct damper position for that particular installation.
Look into the convection air
cavity and note the Damper
Position Indicator. Hook glass
latch tool in the hole at the
end of the damper rod, pull
outward about 1/8” and turn
clockwise to close the vent
damper, release. The base of
the damper adjustment rod
has a pointer that indicates
the position of the damper.
