Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Remove the top louver assembly by gently
lifting it upward until the hook catches on
both sides clear the locating slots. Then pull
door out to remove.
2. Remove the control compartment access door
the same way as described in Step 1 above.
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment. To disengage the two
latches from the bottom vee-flange of the
glass enclosure panel, reach for the handles
located towards the back of the latches and
pull the handles down toward the front of
the appliance.
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top flange of the door
frame away from the appliance.
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 55)
1. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of the
glass panel. The gasket surface must be clean,
free of irregularities and seated firmly.
2. Position the glass enclosure panel in front of
the firebox opening at a 45 degree angle and
engage the top flange over the lip at the top
of the firebox opening. See Figure 55.
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-flange at
the bottom of the panel with the latches and
close the latches to secure the panel.
4. Reinstall top louver assembly and control
compartment door see installation instruc-
tions on Page 26, Reinstalling Control
Compartment Door).

Step 9. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Flame Appearance and sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the flame.
When the appliance is first lit, the entire flame
may be blue and will gradually turn yellowish-
orange during the first 15 minutes of operation.
After 15 minutes of operation, if the flame is
blue, or if the flame is orange with evidence of
sooting (black tip), the air shutter opening may
need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter openings is closed too far,
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 lack of combustion air entering
the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yel-
lowish-orange flame with an orange body that
does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the larger
the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit flames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not
appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.
