Operating Instructions
SliDer/DamPer Setting:
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.
• 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 moved to the left slightly, 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 increase 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.
