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 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.

• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has 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.

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).

IMPORTANT: Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with a magnehelic gauge should

be used to set the slider for best combustion. The best settings are a reading of approximately

0.11 - 0.12 inches of water column (27 - 30 Pa) on the high fire setting. Some fuels may

require higher or lower settings. The reading can be taken from the 1⁄8” (3 mm) hole located on the

front of the unit below the ash shelf.

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. The slider damper should be set by a trained

The slider damper is located

behind the left side panel. To

open the left side panel, undo the

one screw located in the upper

front corner of the cabinet side

between the louvers. Also loosen

three screws down the back of

the side panel.

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. The vacuum pressure

inside the firebox will increase as

the combustion exhaust blower

increases in speed (higher heat

output setting).
