Gas Fireplace Error Codes

The correct fuel-air mixture in your Flare Fireplace produces yellow flame tips, with blue base and offers minimal soot buildup. The Fuel-air mixture is set by the factory, but may need adjustment by fireplace installer, depending on site conditions. 

Identifying and locating the air shutter on your Flare Fireplace. 

Example 1: If the fireplace has been completely installed, and no access can be had to the underside of the fireplace, the adjustment can be done from inside the fireplace, on the burner. Each burner (up to three burners, units 60" above) has a + and - sign located on it. In between that + and - sign is a Philips head screw that can be turned to either increase or decrease the air to gas mixture. 

Example 2: The second option allows you to adjust your Flare Fireplaces air shutter by accessing it from directly underneath the fireplace.  

Adjust the Air shutter if the Air to Fuel mixture is not correct: 
- Flame is Yellow or orange producing soot (low air leading to a rich flame) - Introduce more air by turning clockwise. 
- Flame is very blue (too much air) - Reduce the air by turning counterclockwise. 

Common reason air shutter adjustment may be needed: 
- LP conversion has been done. 
- High above sea level installation. High elevation with low oxygen in the air. 
- Soot buildup on the glass or termination cap. 

In all cases, it is recommended to verify inlet pressure to match recommended values, in addition to setting the air shutter on the burner.
