Install left log (#2) over locating pins on burner. J. Positioning the Logs While still breakable, the logs do not become fragile until after the appliance is burned and they have cured. After curing, any handling must be done with care as breakage can easily occur. Note: Logs have been designed to work specifically with the burner of this appliance. Exact placement will ensure proper operation of your gas appliance and reduce sooting. Complete log installation. Figure 12.
K. Air Shutter Adjustment The air shutter is used to fine-tune the flame as necessary. The air shutter is shipped in the fully open position. Allow the unit to operate 15-20 minutes before making any adjustments to the air shutter. This will give the flame time to reach its height and color before making adjustments. The air shutter control bolt adjusts the amount of air that mixes with the gas as it enters the burner pan. To adjust the air shutter, remove the screw from the control panel.
L. Fixed Glass Assembly Removing Fixed Glass Assembly WARNING! Risk of Asphyxiation! Handle fixed glass assembly with care.
