Operation Check & Aeration Settings Adjustment
Operation Check
Turn the fireplace flame up and down using the
remote control to confirm that the full range of inputs
is achieved—see the remote control operation
instructions on pages 24-29.
Aeration Settings
Light the fire and allow the unit to warm up for 10–15
minutes to evaluate the flame picture. Burners are
equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary
aeration. See the figures below. The shutters are
factory-set to an aeration gap which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations.
In a few unusual installations, the flame picture may
be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for
adjustment should be determined only by operating the
appliance with the ceramic logs and window installed.
Increasing aeration (open)
will cause the flames
to appear more transparent and blue showing more
ceramic log glow.
Decreasing aeration (close)
will cause the flames to
appear more yellow or orange showing less ceramic
log glow.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon
forming and dropping into the firebox.
