After the dryer has operated for approximately five minutes, observe burner flame through lower front panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform

blue flame. (A lazy, yellow-tipped flame indicates lack of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:

a. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew. b. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a

luminous yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.

c. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper
