• 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.
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, pull the Slider Damper out
slightly to increase the air flow to the fire.
The slider damper is located behind the left cab side. Undo the two (2) T-20 torx screws that hold the
inspection cover on the left side and remove.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output button. This
blower will decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down.
The vacuum pressure inside the firebox will increase as the combustion exhaust blower increases in
speed (higher heat output setting).
• 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 pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in 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 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.
