Steps for Finalizing the Installation
1. Remove the glass (see page 32).
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.
2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to
be detected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.
3. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to
starting the appliance. Start the pilot. Start the main burner. Leak test all gas joints again.
4. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.
Pilot Flame Inspection
The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.
Standard
Screwdriver
The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and
thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or
down as necessary.
To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise
lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.
5. Install the logs (see page 34).
6. Replace the glass.
7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.
Air Shutter Adjustment
Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place. The flames should
look like the illustration below. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.
Gas Control Valve
NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way
open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut
off gas to the fireplace and contact a
qualified gas service technician.
Correct
Flames should be blue at the
base, yellow-orange on the top.
If the flames are too tall or sooty on the
ends, open the air shutter.
Not Enough Air
If the flames are all blue and
short, close the air shutter.
Too Much Air
NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to
monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.
Pushing the control to the right gives the
flame less air (closed) - making it more
orange. Pushing to the left gives the flame
more air (open), making it more blue. For
fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap
the air shutter.
