1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter to the standard set-
ting as shown in Figure 26 (adjustment rod is located in the lower
control compartment).
Note: Move the adjustment rod DOWN to decrease air
and UP to increase air.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure on lighting label in con-
trol compartment or see the Care and Operation manual).
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 minutes while observing
the flame continuously to ensure that the proper flame appearance has
been achieved (see Figure 27 and 28). If the following conditions
are present, adjust accordingly:
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust the air shutter, incremen-
tally, to a more open position until the proper flame appearance is
achieved.
• If flame stays lowered blue, adjust the air shutter, incrementally,
to a more closed position until the proper flame appearance is
achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the ON position and the
burner OFF/ON switch OFF (and remote switches, if applicable).
5. When satisfied that the burner flame appearance is normal, re-
install the lower control compartment door then proceed to finish the
installation.
