Note: Be aware that the damper adjustment mechanism may
be hot if the fireplace has been burning for any length of time.
Tofino fireplaces come with an adjustable vent damper. This damper is located behind the air deflector at the
rear of the inner firebox. Sometimes on installations that involve vertical venting configurations over 10 feet in
height (10 feet is the minimum height), the intake air tends to accelerate down the vent causing hectic flame
action. This damper can be closed partially to reduce the speed of the intake air and thus calm the flames to
a more natural look. Over-closure of this damper could cause an insufficient air supply to the fire, which would
result in flames that cause soot.
Damper Adjustment:
To adjust the damper, locate the bolt (10 mm or Phillips) on top of the fireplace at the front. Loosen it and
adjust the lever directly below the bolt and guide label (Figure 45).
r
To close the damper (for a 40’ flue), push the adjustment mechanism away from you.
r
To open the damper (for a 10’ flue), pull the adjustment mechanism toward you.
This is a guide only. Specific
installations may require alternate
adjustments.
