Installation
SLIDER/DAMPER INSTALLATION - TIMER CONTROLLED MODEL ONLY:
Not for installation in Germany.
This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
1. Remove the slider rod (short rod with knob and nuts) from their package and open the left side
panel.
2. Remove the knob and outer nut from the knob. Push the rod through the hole in the slider. Place the
lock nut on the rod and tighten, leaving a
1
/32” (1 mm) gap between the slider and the other nut.
3. Make sure the slider moves freely. Close the side panel and tighten screws after placing the rod
through the panel. Screw the knob onto the slider.
SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING:
This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove.
A Qualified Service Technician or Installer should mark the slider rod in the current settings.
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
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 the fire should happen to go out and the Dial-A-Fire has been set on the lowest setting, the Slider
Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox or the Dial-A-Fire can be turned
up slightly.
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.
