Figure 33: Efficient Flame.

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).

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.

Figure 32: Slider / Damper Knob.

• 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 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 when the heat output level

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 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).

guiDeLineS foR fine-tuning foR fueL QuaLity:

Due to fuel quality the slider damper and control board trims may need to be fine-tuned.

1. If the unit builds up on all settings, the slider damper rod should be pulled out in small increments to

give the unit more air.

2. If the unit has excesses ash build-up in the liner on the lower feed settings, the Combustion Blower

Trim should be increased one setting at a time until the problem improves (Factory Setting is #2).

3. If the fire is going out on low because the airflow is too great, the Combustion Blower Trim can be

lowered to the #1 setting.

4. If the stove has excesses ash build-up in the liner on the higher settings the Feed Rate Trim should be

trimmed down a setting at a time until the problem improves (Factory setting is #4).

5. If you need more heat and the fuel has long pellets, the majority are over 1” (2.5cm) in length, the

Feed Rate Trim can be moved up to the #5 setting. NOTE: Only do this if the fuel burns without

building up.
