installation. (Page 26)
1. Install the right burner by tipping into
location trough and slipping the venturi
tube over the orice. Repeat with left
burner. (Fig. #1)
NOTE: check air shutter for correct fuel
setting before proceeding further. Both
burner shutters are to be set the same,
fully closed for natural gas. 1/8” (0.125)”
open for LP.
CAUTION: The burners should be tightly
butted up against each other at the center
to ensure correct operation.

The air shutter on the burner tube controls the primary combustion air. It is set to the closed
position at the factory for natural gas fuel. (For LP see Pg.6.) Some adjustment may be
necessary to obtain desired ame and to eliminate carbon deposits.Evaluate ame appearance
after the replace has reached operating temperature. See Fig. #22 for proper ame pattern.
Open primary air if the window glass and rebox have carbon accumulation and/or the
ames are long, dark and stringy. The shutter may also be opened to lessen the ame
height.
NOTE:
Proper air shutter setting is required.
The ame should be just orange and “lazy”. It should NEVER be set to create sooting
on internal parts and window glass. Allow the replace to run for 30 minutes before
evaluating ame appearance.
