6. Check igniter tips for correct location for the unit you are setting up. Adjust if necessary. (see owners
manual)
For the IDF 500:
· 5/32 apart
· ¼” above center of nozzle
· 1/8” in front of nozzle
7. Re-install the fuel rail, hook up fuel lines etc.
8. Restart the heater and check the flue gas for smoke using the True-Spot Smoke Tester.
9. If you get a smoke test reading in the 2 to 3 range you will be ready to fine tune the burner to
achieve a #1 or possibly a 0 on the smoke scale. If you still have heavy smoke, you may have to go
down another nozzle size to be able to get the burner to burn efficiently.
Fine Tuning the Frost Fighter Burners
1. Use the True-Spot Smoke Tester to determine where you are on the Smoke Scale.
2. To reduce the amount of smoke, open the band 1 or 2 numbers and recheck with the True-Spot
Smoke Tester.
3. Make further adjustments if necessary to achieve the lowest number you can on the Smoke Scale.
4. Tighten the air band and shutter-securing screws to prevent them from moving after you have made
the adjustments.
