Operating Instructions
SLIDER/DAMPER SETTING:
The slider damper is located behind the left cab side. The door must be open for the cab side to be removed on all
models. On freestanding model loosen the two T20 torx screws, one above and one below hinge, swing open left
panel to access. On insert model remove the two T20 torx screws on the front, one above and one below hinge,
and the one T20 at the top of the cab side under the top front.
• If the fire goes out and the heat output has been set on the lowest setting, use the auger trim button to increase
feed rate or the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox. Check the firebox
vacuum and re-set if necessary.
• If after long periods of burning the fire builds up and over flows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers
This would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor and the slider damper must be pulled to compensate, to give
the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to see the characteristics of the fire.
• A tall and lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider.
• A short and brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider.
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame then the air
may be correct for proper operation - monitor for build up.
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 MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider Damper.
The slider damper should be set only on a hot stove (operating for 30 minutes or more) by placing a Magnahelic
Pressure Gauge in the firebox (test port is located in the center of the stove just below the door opening). Set the
slider damper so that the pressure reads
0.11” w.c. (.028 KPa) on HIGH HEAT LEVEL and when turned down to
LOW HEAT LEVEL, a 0.07” to 0.11”w.c. (0.018 to 0.028 KPa) reading should be achieved

Note: Some parts have been removed in order to see
components more clearly.
The pressure readings are taken through a
hole in the front of the firebox under the door,
using a Magnehelic Gauge.
