OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SLIDER / DAMPER SET-UP
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider
Damper. This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. The
slider damper knob is located on the left cab side (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: Slider / Damper Knob.
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been
set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly,
decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fi re builds up and overfl ows the burn pot
or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality
is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper must be pulled out
to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fi re more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an effi cient fl ame is achieved is to
understand the characteristics of the fi re.
• A tall, lazy fl ame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider
(pull out) slightly.
• A short, brisk fl ame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider
(push in) slightly.
• If the fl ame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright
yellow/orange, active fl ame with no black tips then the air is set for
proper operation, refer to Figure 8.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by
the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure
inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the
pellets have a high moisture or ash content the fire will be less efficient
and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers
(hard ash build-up).
Figure 8: Effi cient Flame.
NOTE:
Incorrect use of the Damper will cause malfunction and poor
results from your stove or insert.
