Alcove Installation Requirements
When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered
an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.
• Minimum height is 55"
• Minimum width is 41-1/4"
• Maximum depth is 48"
• Minimum clearance of 7" on each side and 3" on back
Baffle Installation
Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 29 for details).
Door Seal Verification
The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to
become mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal"
under Yearly Maintenance).
Restrictor Adjustment
The restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the
firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every
installation.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –
make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
Not Enough Air
If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a
clump) develop or the flame appears
lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the
firepot, pull the restrictor outward until
the flame becomes active and the
firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the
restrictor is fully out, yet the firepot does
not remain clean, the stove needs to be
cleaned and checked for air leaks (see
“Maintenance” section of this manual).
Too Much Air
If the flames are too active (small,
flickering flames) or if burning pellets are
expelled from the firepot, move the
restrictor rod inwards until the flame
slows down and no burning pellets are
expelled. Another symptom of too
much air is the heater “blowing the fire
out” – a condition in which the pellets
burn faster than they are fed (this is most
common on low).
