INTRODUCTION
The Fireplace models covered in this manual
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fireplace heaters designed for residential application. Direct-Vent appliances operate with the
combustion chamber completely isolated from
the indoor environment. All air for combustion is brought in from the outside and exhaust gases are vented through the same
direct vent, vent system.
The millivolt appliances are designed to operate on either natural or propane gas. A millivolt
gas control valve with piezo ignition system
provides safe, efficient operation. If any optional accessories which require electrical
power are being installed, the electrical power
must be provided at the time of appliance
installation.
The electronic appliances are designed to operate on either natural or propane gas. An
electronic intermittent pilot system provides
safe, efficient operation. External electrical
power is required to operate these units.

Burner Adjustments
The following paragraphs address burner adjustment concerns and procedures.
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.
Generally most people prefer the warm glow of
a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated
with air shutter openings that are too large will
exhibit flames that are blue and transparent.
These weak, blue and transparent flames are
termed anemic. If the air shutter opening is too
small sooting may develop.Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing at the tips of
very long orange flames. Sooting results in
black deposits forming on the logs, appliance
inside surfaces and on exterior surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in
the flames and a lack of combustion air entering
the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellow to orange flame with an orange body that
does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes. No smoke
or soot should be present. Reposition the log set
if the flames impinge on any part of it.
If the log set is properly positioned and
sooting conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the main burner tube should be adjusted. Normally, the more offsets in the vent
system, the greater the need for the air shutter
to be opened further.
WARNING: AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
ENSURE THAT ALL GLASS PANELS ARE IN
PLACE AND SEALED DURING ADJUSTMENT.
Adjustment
CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT ROD AND
NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT.
EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID INJURY WHILE
ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE.
To adjust the flame, rotate the adjustment
rod (located in the lower control area) counterclockwise to increase or clockwise to reduce the air shutter opening. Adjust the air
shutter to the recommended setting as
shown in
ate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the flame
continuously. If it appears weak or sooty as
previously described, adjust the air shutter
by rotating the adjustment rod until the flame
appearance is as desired.

The adjustment rod and associated adjustable
air shutter is patented technology. Flame adjustments can be made quickly and accurately
to taste without the need of disassembling the
appliance and waiting for 15 minutes after each
adjustment.
Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern
that may candle or appear stringy. If this is
problematic or persists as the appliance is
continually operated, adjust the air shutter
closed as described in the previous paragraphs.
Operate the appliance for a period of time as the
effect diminishes, ensuring that the appliance
does not develop sooty flames.
When satisfied that the appliance operates properly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave the
control knob in “ON” position and turn the
remote switch “OFF.” Close the lower control
compartment access panel.
