Warning:
Incorrect venturi adjustment may lead to improper combustion, which is a safety hazard.
Contact the dealer if there is any concern about the venturi adjustment.
The venturi adjustment slider is located in the centre of the unit, below the door (see Figure 4).
The venturi allows the amount of air coming into the fireplace to be adjusted in order to accommodate
different climates and venting arrangements. Start the pilot and then the burner. Make sure the pilot
flame is burning normally and none of the burner ports are plugged. Let the fireplace burn for roughly
fifteen (15) minutes and then examine the flames. The ideal flame will be blue at the base and light
orange above. The flames should be of medium height. If
the flames look like this, no venturi adjustment is needed.
If the flames are fairly short and mostly blue, the fireplace
is getting too much air. Therefore, the air shutter should
be closed (push right) slightly until the correct flames are
achieved. Flames that are very orange, with tall dark
stringy tips are not getting enough air. Open (push left)
the venturi until the flames clean up. If the venturi is
opened, then closed all the way, and the correct flames
cannot be attained, turn off the gas and contact the
dealer.
