WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITSOne of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance is a mineral which can show up as a whitefilm on the ceramic glass in the viewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from location tolocation and also from time to time in the same locations. You may have the problem for a time and then not see
it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur content of
the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive
answer to this problem. We have input from several dealers who have tried various cleaning products with varying
results. We can only make the following recommendations and cannot assure you of the results in our particularcase.

WARNING!!
Never clean the ceramic glass or any other part of the appliance while it is still hot. Please shut
off your appliance and wait for it to cool down prior to cleaning.
1) Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film), if the film is left for a long period oftime to build up and bake on, it is much harder to remove and may become impossible to remove.
2) NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic, any abrasion of the surface has an immediate effect tolessen the strength of the glass. An emulsion type cleaner is best.
3) Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner and dry the glass with a soft dry cloth, preferably cotton only. Most
paper towels and synthetic materials are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
WHITE OFF by Rutland has been tested and qualified as being effective to remove most ugly mineraldeposits from ceramic glass.
NOTE: This is a problem beyond BLAZE KINGS control and is not covered under warranty.

DOOR SEAL GASKETThe front door of your new Blaze King B vent is gasketed and has been adjusted for a tight seal. With usage thedoor gasket material may compress. The door may require periodic adjustment to maintain a proper seal. The
time to make this adjustment will vary depending upon individual hours of use, btu settings, and frequency of
opening and closing the door. Check the door on your appliance periodically, especially during the first 90 days ofoperation, to ensure it is sealing properly. Your Blaze King dealer/installer should be contacted to properly adjust
the door if required.

HIGH ALTITUDE STATEMENT
This unit has been tested for installations at a high altitude up to 1370 meters (4500 ft.) in
accordance with Canadian test standard CAN/CGA-2.17. Higher altitudes effect atmosphericpressure and heat value of gaseous fuels. When installing this unit at high altitudes, the rated
input will be lower than at sea level. The lowered oxygen content in the air and lowered gas
density requires installing a different orifice in order to achieve clean combustion of the unit.
Consult the unit data plate for proper high altitude orifice size, and fill out the information sticker
attached to the unit when field converting. For high altitude installations, consult the local gas
distributor or the authority having jurisdiction for proper rating methods.

8004 GAS FLAME ADJUSTMENT
IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADJUST THE FLAME SO IT HAS THE PROPER SHAPE AND COLOR WITHOUTSOOTING OF THE GLASS OR LOGS:
1. The primary air shutter should be set approximately:

1/2 open for Natural Gas
Full open for L P Gas

2. Adjust the open shutter until the flame turns blue, then close the shutter until a soft red flame is obtained. The
shutter is spring loaded so it will stay in that position.
3. If this makes soot on either the logs or the glass, the setting must be opened gradually until the glass and logs
stay clean.

AIR SHUTTER ROD ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, open the viewing door and grasp small rod located in the back right of the firebox and with pliers lift up
and or pull down to adjust the flame pattern as needed.
NOTE: IF THE BURNER IS REMOVED, MAKE SURE THAT THE SPRING IS IN PLACE ON THE MAIN BURNERORIFICE AND THAT THE MAIN BURNER ORIFICE SEATS ITSELF INSIDE THE BURNER AIR SHUTTER.

The pilot flame must envelope approximately 1/2 of the millivolt generator. It must burn clean. All parts must be lit.
If there are any problems, contact your serviceman.
Periodic checking of the flame pattern is necessary. The flame should look approximately like the picture. Thebase of the flame must not rise above the burner plate.
