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.
