See Vent Graph for Recommendations on page 11 
before you begin your adjustment.  If your installation falls 
within the range of the gray shaded area of graph, it may be 
necessary to make an adjustment to the vertical damper to 
improve the flame appearance in your appliance.

   The shutter is located on the underside of the 

appliance, on the right side.  To adjust the shutter, loosen 
the wingnut.. 

Moving the shutter bolt to the right closes the shutter. Moving 
the shutter bolt to the left, will open the shutter. Opening the 
shutter causes flames to become shorter and blue. Closing 
the shutter creates taller orange/yellow flames. 

NOTE:  Do not close so much as to cause a sooty flame. 
Improper adjustment can cause sooting in the firebox and/or 
on the outside of a house with a horizontal termination.

After adjustment, tighten wingnut to lock in place.

Let appliance warm up before adjusting.

Loosen screw using a Phillips head screwdriver.

Pivot the vertical damper adjustor in 1/4 in. (6mm) incre-
ments while observing the flame activity.

Turning clockwise to open damper = less flame height and 
more blue in flame color.

Turning counterclockwise to close damper = increased flame 
height and more yellow in flame color.  

Make adjustment until flame size and activity suits your per-
sonal preference, and then retighten screws on adjustment 
control.

Locate the damper adjustment on the intake plenum.  Access 
through the appliance front.  Adjustor is centered at the top 
of the appliance.  

REAR VENT INSTALLATIONS: The rear vent 

damper is located in the back of the firebox behind the rear 
brick panel. It is recommended to make adjustment prior to 
installation. 
Remove front/glass/ logs and brick if installed.  Loosen screws 
and slide up to suggested settings.  Reinstall accordingly... 
Tighten screws.
