Burner Air Shutter Adjustment Procedure
1. Locate adjustment rod and adjust air shutter
to the standard setting as shown in Figure
12 (adjustment rod is located in the lower
control compartment). Note: Rotating the
adjustment rod clockwise decreases air and
counterclockwise increases air.
2. Light appliance (follow lighting procedure on
lighting label in control compartment or see
homeowners manual).
3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15 min-
utes while observing the fl ame continuously
to ensure that the proper fl ame appearance
has been achieved (see Figures 10 or 11). If
the following conditions are present, adjust
accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper fl ame
appearance is achieved.
If fl ame stays lowered blue, adjust the
air shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper fl ame
appearance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the
ON position and the burner OFF/ON switch
OFF (& remote switches, if applicable).
5. When satisfi ed that the burner fl ame ap-
pearance is normal, close the lower control
compartment door.

The pilot fl ame should be steady, not lifting
or fl oating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" minimum (tip)
of the quick drop out thermocouple should be
engulfed in the pilot fl ame. The fl ame should
project 1" (25 mm) beyond the hood at all three
ports. See Figures 13 or 14.

tions on Page 17.
