APPLIANCE PREPARATION
7.1.
Check ignition spark
The pilot burner and electrode unit is at the left end of the burner.
Push in the lighting knob and turn counter-clockwise through the “IGN” position
to “PILOT”. A spark should flash across from the pilot electrode to the pilot
burner shield. See figure 3.
7.2
Aeration Setting Check
The burner is equipped with an adjustable shutter to control primary aeration. See
figure 4. The shutter is factory set at an aeration gap, which will give optimum
performance for the vast majority of installations. In a few unusual installations
performance may be improved by adjusting the aeration. The need for adjustment
should be determined by operating the appliance with the ceramic fuel effects and
window installed. See the “Final checks” section in this manual for adjustment
details.
The shutter setting is very critical. A small change can make a substantial
difference to the performance.
7.3 Install Base Coal Support
Install base coal support ( packed loose ) to back of firebox using 3 screws as shown in fig 5 .
7.3
Remove Burner Module (optional)
In some cases, to make gas piping easier, it may be convenient to
remove the burner module from the firebox, see fig 6 (note the
location of the gas inlet before removing the burner module).
Remove 2 screws and pull the burner module partially out of the
firebox taking care not to pull on the wire leads going to vent
switch. With the module partly removed, reach behind the
module with a wrench and loosen the thermocouple nut at the
back of the valve. With the thermocouple nut loose, pull the vent
switch wire leads out of the brass block at the back of the valve
and pull the burner module the rest of the way out of the firebox.
Rough-in the gas line, valves, or unions and reinstall the burner
module.
