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.
NOTE:  In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word 
damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.

   The shutter is located on the underside of the 
appliance, on the right side.  To adjust the shutter, loosen 
the wingnut.  Retighten the wingnut after adjustment.
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 nut to lock in place.

Let appliance warm up before adjusting.

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.
