Check Operation
Turn the fi replace fl ame up and down using the remote
control to confi rm that the full range of inputs is
achieved—see the Remote Control Use starting on page
37.
Adjust Aeration (if necessary)
Light the fi re and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the fl ame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the fi gures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
Depending of fuel bed used, altitude and other
considerations, the fl ame picture may be improved by
adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment should
be determined only by operating the appliance with the
fuel bed, liners and window installed and evaluating the
fl ame picture after a 15-minute warm-up.
Pull or push the aeration lever at the bottom front left
corner of the unit to open or close the air shutter. The
shutter is visible at the left hand end of the burner.

Increasing aeration (open) w
ill cause the fl ames to
appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic eff ects glow.
Decreasing aeration (close) will cause the fl ames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
eff ects glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming
and dropping into the fi rebox.
