too much air – Close slider (push in) slightly.

• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright

yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for

proper operation, refer to Figure 7.

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, adjusting the air to fuel ratio.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the

pellets have a high moisture content 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).

HEAT LEVEL and Fans will drop down to the LOW setting for 30 minutes. If the thermostat contacts close

within the 30 minutes, the HEAT LEVEL will return to the previous MANUAL setting. If the thermostat

contacts remain open, the stove automatically begins its shutdown routine. The stove will re-light when

the thermostat contacts close again.

Operating Instructions

Figure 6: Slider/Damper Plate in Unit.

If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up

and overflows 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 fire more air.

The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame

is achieved is to understand the characteristics of

the fire.

• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires

more air – Open slider (pull out) slightly.
