QFP 30 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
The shutter is pre-set to the open position at factory, so
adjustment may not be necessary. Light stove and allow
to burn for 20 minutes to allow logs to cure. While logs
are curing you may notice a bright orange flame, this is
normal. When this flame turns to yellow or disappears, the
shutter adjustment can take place if flame height and/or
color adjustment is required. Follow these procedures
to make an adjustment:
1. Locate the shutter handle on the left of unit beneath the
firebox and behind the control panel.
2. Use a short Phillips screwdriver to loosen the shutter
handle.
3. With handle loosened, Push handle to left to get more
yellow flames and to the right to obtain more blue flame.
4. When desired flame color is reached tighten screw.
If the flame is not satisfactory, repeat the procedure.
This setting should only require attention during
initial set-up.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Fireplace must be operating to make this adjust-
ment. Adjustment must be done before fascia is installed
An adjustable damper is built in to the unit to control the
flow rate of exhaust gases. This ensures proper combustion
for your vent configuration and is also a factor in flame
appearance.
The damper control arm is located above unit on right
hand side. With a flashlight, locate the arm. There is a Phillips
screw on right side of damper handle. Loosen screw and slide
handle either in or out to adjust.
Push handle in to CLOSE down exhaust flow.
Pull handle out to OPEN exhaust flow.
When desired flame appearance is obtained tighten
screw.
ADJUSTING FLAME HEIGHT
The flame of the fireplace is adjustable in order to tailor the
look and heat output to your specific needs. It is adjusted
by turning the Comfort Control dial on the control panel,
see page 36.
ADJUSTING THE BLOWER SPEED
The blower will turn on automatically within approximately 10
minutes after start-up and the fireplace is up to temperature.
This aids in transferring the heat into the living area. The
blower speed can be increased or decreased using the Fan
Speed knob on the control panel, see page 36.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Blower....................... The fireplace uses a 160 cfm
blower to circulate heated air
into the living area. It produces a
whirring sound which increases
in volume as the speed is
increased.
Pilot Flame................ The pilot flame remains on con-
stantly and makes a “whisper”
sound.
Gas control valve..... As the valve opens and shuts
down it will click.
Burner pan................ The burner pan is located
beneath the logs. It distributes
the gas producing a clean, effi-
cient and aesthetic burn. As
the main burner gets up to tem-
perature a creaking sound will
be heard. This is the expansion
of the metal. The sound will
cease once the fireplace is up
to temperature but may return
upon cool down.
Blower snap disc ..... This part may produce a clicking
sound as the blower turns on
and off.
Heat Exchanger........ A normal expansion and con-
traction sound may be heard.
