How to Adjust Gas Fireplace Flame Color

Are you wondering how to adjust a gas fireplace’s flame color? Whether you’re turning your gas fireplace on for the colder months or trying to set the mood, making sure that the settings are correct is critical for ensuring you have a good experience. If you’re curious about what the flame color means and how to adjust a gas fireplace flame color, so it looks more natural, we’ve got your back.

You’ve probably heard that blue flames are safe and healthy flames. This is true for most gas-burning appliances. However, when gas fireplaces were designed, they considered that a user is probably craving the wood-burning look and feel, without the mess. That’s why gas fireplaces have a flame whose tips are a yellow or orange color. Only in gas fireplaces is this still considered a healthy and unharmful flame.

If when you turn your gas fireplace on, the flames are remaining only blue, we’ve got your back. To adjust a gas fireplace’s flame color, follow these steps.

1. Find the Gas Log Control Knob

Light the gas logs by turning on the pilot knob. Allow it a couple of minutes while monitoring the color of the flames. If when it’s first turned on, the flames are mostly blue, that’s normal. After the particles and dust is burned off, the yellow and orange tips to the flames should be visible. If they still aren’t there and the flames are blue, follow the next steps.

2. Make Sure the Damper is Open

By opening the damper to the fireplace, you are allowing proper ventilation. This will control the color of the flame. To adjust it so that the flames have an orange or yellow tip to them, lower the air input. You can do this by changing the damper or by closing the air shutter.

The knobs to make these adjustments can be found behind the decorative front of the gas fireplace. If you need to remove these, make sure to turn off the fireplace and allow it to cool before you touch the front. If your gas fireplace came with a remote, these settings might be on there.

3. Give it a Few Minutes

Unfortunately, while you are making these adjustments, you may not see results when you make a change to the controls. Give the fire a few minutes to adjust to the different air levels. We would suggest waiting 30 minutes after making a change to see what it did and how the gas fireplace will respond.

4. If There Isn’t a Change, Check your Chimney or Air Vent

If you do not see a change in your gas fireplace’s flames, turn it off completely. Wait until it has cooled, and then perform some routine maintenance and checks on your fireplace ventilation. This ensures that your fire is getting the oxygen that it needs and ensuring that your home remains free of harmful gases.

Gas fireplaces are a great way to stay cozy on those cold winter nights. They offer an easy, instant heat that can be enjoyed by the whole family. If you find yourself wanting to adjust the color of your gas fireplace flame, there are a few different options for you. One option is to use remote control which allows you to change the colors from across the room with just one button press! Another option is manually adjusting it by turning up or down the burner knob on top of your fireplace until you reach your desired color!

Gas fireplaces are a great way to stay warm and cozy during the cold winter months. But sometimes, it might be too hot or not enough heat coming out of the fireplace. Fortunately, adjusting your gas fireplace flame color is an easy fix to this problem! Here at Derex Industries Inc., we want to help you learn how to adjust your gas fireplace flame color with these simple steps:

1. Turn off power supply by flipping switch on back of unit
2. Find knob on right side near front panel labeled “Flame”
3. Rotate knob clockwise (turning counter-clockwise will reduce blue hue in flames).

What is the Gas Fireplace Flame Color adjustment knob for and how does it work?

The Gas Fireplace Flame Color adjustment knob is located on the front of your gas fireplace and is used to adjust the color of the flames. Turning the knob clockwise will make the flames more yellow, while turning it counter-clockwise will make them more blue. You can use this knob to customize the look of your fire to match your décor.

If your fireplace has a pilot light, you will need to turn it off before making any adjustments to the flame color. To do this, locate the red button on the front of your fireplace and press it in until it clicks. You should then see a small flame burning in the upper right-hand corner of your fireplace.

Hold down this button while you turn the Gas Fireplace Flame Color adjustment knob to adjust the color of the flames. When you have finished making your adjustments, release the button and wait a few seconds for the pilot light to come back on. Then press it in again to turn it off.

If your fireplace does not have a pilot light, you can still adjust the flame color by turning off the gas supply. To do this, locate the main gas valve on your fireplace and turn it to the “off” position. You should then see a small red button located in between the two valves.

Press in this button and hold it while you turn the Gas Fireplace Flame Color adjustment knob to adjust the color of the flames. When you have finished making your adjustments, release the button and wait a few seconds for the gas to be turned off. Then turn the main gas valve back to the “on” position.
