ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE BLOWER SPEED
The blower will turn on automatically within approximately 10 minutes after start-up and the
fireplace is up to temperature. This aids in transferring the heat into the living area. The blower
speed can be increased or decreased using the Fan Speed knob on the control panel, see page
54.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Blower .........................
The fireplace uses a 160 cfm blower to circulate heated air into
the living area. It produces a whirring sound which increases in
volume as the speed is increased.
Pilot Flame ..................
The pilot flame remains on constantly and makes a “whisper” sound.
Gas control valve .......
As the valve opens and shuts down it will click.
Burner pan ..................
The burner pan is located beneath the logs. It distributes the gas
producing a clean, efficient and aesthetic burn. As the main burner
gets up to temperature a creaking sound will be heard. This is the
expansion of the metal. The sound will cease once the fireplace is
up to temperature but may return upon cool down.
Blower snap disc ........
This part may produce a clicking sound as the blower turns on and
off.
Heat Exchanger ..........
A normal expansion and contraction sound may be heard.
SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
A 5/32 Allen wrench is supplied with unit to make adjustment to the two Allen bolts which
operate the shutter adjustment for rear (top) and front (lower) main burners. These are located
beneath the firebox, behind the control panel on your left at the base of the burner pans.
Light stove and allow to burn for 20 minutes to allow logs to cure. While logs are curing
you may notice a bright orange flame, this is normal. When this flame turns to yellow or disap-
pears, the shutter adjustment can take place.
The shutter is pre-set to the open position at factory, so adjustment may not be necessary.
If flame height adjustment is required, turn the allen bolts counterclockwise to close shutters and
obtain a yellow flame. For a blue flame with more glow, turn the allen bolts clockwise to open the
shutters. Wait 5 minutes for flame to settle. If the flame is not satisfactory, repeat the procedure.
This setting should only require attention during initial set-up.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Fireplace must be operating to make this adjustment. An adjustable damper is
built in to the unit to control the flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion for
your vent configuration and is also a factor in flame appearance.
The damper control is located above the heat exchanger. Use a flashlight to locate the
Phillips screwhead. Using a long Phillips screwdriver, loosen the screwhead. Above that screw
is an extension rod with a standard driver slot at the end near the front of the unit.
Use a standard screwdriver to make the adjustment while observing flame appearance,
turn counterclockwise until optimum operation occurs. This setting should only require attention
during initial set-up.

ADJUSTING FLAME HEIGHT
The flame of the fireplace is adjustable in order to tailor the look and heat output to your specific
needs. It is adjusted by turning the Comfort Control dial on the control panel, see page 58.
