ment of 11.0” w.c.
Air Shutter Adjustment
The Stardance is shipped from the factory with the air
shutter adjusted to the minimum allowed opening. Refer
to Table 1. Based on the altitude where the stove is
located, a shutter adjustment is acceptable to provide a
mixed balance of flame color/glow. To adjust the shutter
opening, follow the steps below.
NOTE: The air shutter may only be adjusted to a more
open position. The factory setting is the minimum allow-
able air shutter opening. (Figs. 38 & 39)
