MAIN GAS BURNER AIR SHUTTER
All Gas Models
NOTICE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be 
adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system 
for proper combustion and maximum efficiency. 
Before adjusting the inlet shutters be sure that all lint 
is removed from lint compartment and lint screen.
Air shutter adjustments will vary from location to 
location and will depend on the vent system, number of 
units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure. 
Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary air 
supplied to the burner while closing the shutter decreases 
the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as follows:
1. Open the access panel.
2. Start the tumbler and check the flame pattern. Correct 
air and gas mixture is indicated if the flame pattern is 
primarily blue, with small yellow tips, and bends to 
the right of the heater section. Too little air is 
indicated if the flame is yellow, lazy and smokey. 
Refer to Figure 16.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter 
adjusting screw. Refer to Figure 16. 
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain 
proper flame intensity.
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten 
air shutter adjusting screw securely. Control panel 
may have to be removed temporarily to loosen air 
shutter screws to adjust shutter. 
6. If the shutter is correctly adjusted, but the flame 
pattern is straight up, insufficient primary air is 
flowing through the tumbler and airflow switch is 
improperly set. A flame pattern that flares to the right 
and left indicates no air is flowing through the 
tumbler. Refer to Figure 16.
