Installation
REMOVAL:
When maintenance is required on the unit the surround must be removed.
1. Lift the cast top, it will come up and forward.
2. Lift the surround panel up and out.
SLiDeR/DampeR Setting:
More Air
Less Air
Figure 13: Slider / damper positions.
This is used to regulate the airflow
through the pellet stove.
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE
SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician or
Installer must set the Slider Damper.
The slider damper is located behind the
cast doors and under the firebox.
• If the fire should happen to go out and
the heat output indicator has been set
on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper
Figure 14: Efficient Flame.
should be moved to the left slightl, lessen the air flow into 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 moved to the right to give 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
– Push Right
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Push
Left
• 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.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower
controlled by the heat output setting. This blower will increse or
decrease the blower speed as the heat output setting is turned
up or down.
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). If this happens, move the Slider / Damper to the right slightly
to increase the air flow to the fire.
Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with a magnehelic gauge can be used to set
the slider for best combustion. The best settings are a reading of 0.12 to 0.13 inches of water
column (30 Pa) on the high fire setting. Some fuels may require higher or lower settings.
The reading can be taken from the ⅛” (3 mm) hole located on the front of the unit below the door in
the ash pan front.
