ADjUSTMENT
The  air  shutter,  located  at  the  base  of  the  main 
burner (see  Figure  54),  has  been  factory  preset 
to the proper air-to-gas ratio which results in an 
even, clean burning ame across the burner (see 
Figure 55). If readjustment is necessary, you can 
restore the proper air-to-gas ratio by loosening the 
air shutter screw and rotating the air shutter until 
the proper ame setting is achieved (the shutter's 
normal  setting  is  fully  open.  Do  not  forget  to 
retighten the air shutter screw.

sembly. Undo 4 latches and open glass door.

aside (see Figure 56, page 27).
3.  Remove the 2 screws holding burner to hearth 
pan.
DECORATIVE FACING
Any  noncombustible  material  may  be  used  for 
facing (glass, tile, brick, etc.) as long as the proper 
clearances are observed (see Clearances, page 6). 
IMPORTANT: Louvered openings must not be ob-
structed, and upper and lower panels must remain 
removable for servicing. Use only heat-resistant, 
noncombustible mortar or adhesive when securing 
facing material.
Note: Combustible material, such as wood, that 
has been reproofed  is  not considered noncom-
bustible.
PILOT/ELECTRODE 
ASSEMbLy ADjUSTMENT
The pilot assembly is factory preset for the proper 
ame height. Alteration to these settings may have 
occurred during shipping and handling. If this is the 
case, some minor adjustment may be necessary and 
should be done by a qualied technician. To access 
the pilot assembly, the glass door must be opened. 
The proper settings for the thermopile height should 
be at a distance of 3/8" to 1/2" from the pilot ame 
as shown in Figure 52.
The electrode is installed at the factory for proper 
positioning. However, alterations to the position 
may have occurred due to shipping and handling. 
These settings may need adjustment and must be 
done by a qualied technician. The correct position 
and height is as shown in Figure 53.
