MANTELS
Mantels, combustible or non-combustible, may
be constructed as long as proper clearances are
observed (see Figure 2, page 6 and Clearances,
page 6).
PILOT ASSEMBLY ADjUSTMENT
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper
ame height. Alteration to factory settings may
have occurred during shipping. If this is the case,
some minor readjustments may be necessary and
should be done by a qualied technician.
The pilot assembly is located behind the burner
next to the rear refractory piece at the right-hand
side. The thermopile (in millivolt models) or the
sensor (in electronic models) should be engulfed
with the pilot ame approximately 3/8" to 1/2" in
order for the regulator to receive proper signal (see
Figures 18 and 19).

BURNER FLAME ADjUSTMENT
The air shutter, located at the base of the main
burner tube, has been factory preset to the proper
air to bas ratio which results in a long, blue, cleaner
burning ame (see Figure 20).
If readjustment is necessary, loosen the air shut-
ter screw and rotate air shutter until proper ame
setting is achieved, retighten air shutter screw. See
Figure 20 for air shutter location.
Closing the air shutter reduces the air-to-gas mix,
resulting in a longer, yellow ame wihich produces
excessive carbon monoxide (CO) and could also
cause sooting.
