SLiDeR/DamPeR Set-uP:
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.Thisisusedtoregulatethe
airflowthroughthepelletstove.
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.
