MT VERNON E2 INSERT

J. Trim Adjustment

 (Factory default setting is -2)

Where to Start:

If Burning Hardwood Pellet Fuel

 

QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance at a -4 
trim setting as a start.  From our testing, hardwood fuels  
burn well between -4 and -2 settings.

If Burning Lower BTU Pellet Fuel,  Utility Pellet Fuel, or 
High Ash Pellet Fuel

 

QuadraFire recommends setting the appliance and leaving 
at a -4 trim setting.  From our testing, lower BTU fuels  
result in large clinkers in the bottom of the fi repot during 
normal operation.  Using this type of fuel will increase the 
recommended fi repot cleaning interval.

If Burning Softwood Pellet Fuel

 

QuadraFire recommends starting at a -2 trim setting and 
adjusting based on installation confi gurations.  From our  
testing, softwood fuels burn well at a variety of settings.  

If Elevation is 3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher

 

When burning at higher elevations you will need more 
air for the fi re to burn properly.  QuadraFire recommends 
starting with a Trim Setting of -3.  From our testing, 
appliances at higher elevations burn best at settings 
-4,-3, +3, and +4.  Review fuel types and installation 
confi gurations for choosing the right setting.

If appliance has long horizontal venting sections or 
more than two 90 degree Elbows

 

QuadraFire recommends starting at a -4 trim setting and 
making adjustments based on fuel type and elevation.  
From our testing, we have found that -4,-3, +3, or +4 have 
worked well depending on fuels.

Indicators that Trim Adjustment is needed:
1. The 

fl ame appears lazy

2.  Smoke can be seen in the fi rebox after start up during 

normal burn

3.  Excessive build up of clinkers taller than a 1/2” in the 

bottom of the fi repot

4. The 

fi re goes out when in normal operating mode

More Air

More Air & Less Fuel

The small dial located below the main dial control is used 
to adjust the amount of fuel and combustion air used for 
effi cient clean burning.  Adjusting the trim along with proper 
cleaning of the fi repot and heat exchanger will help achieve 
maximum performance of your Mt Vernon E2 Appliance.  
Your appliance may need to be adjusted based on any or 
all of the following: 

• 

Elevation (3000 feet above Sea Level or Higher) 

• Venting/Installation 

Confi gurations (installations with 

greater than 4’ horizontal or more than two 90 degree 
elbows)

• 

Fuel Quality (lower BTU fuels or fuels with high ash 
content)

• 

Fuel Type (hardwood, softwood, lower BTU fuels)

• 

Appliances not properly adjusted will:

• 

Require more frequent cleanings

• 

Result in nuisance shut downs and/or missed ignitions

• Waste 

fuel

Consult your QuadraFire Dealer with specifi c questions 
regarding proper adjustments for maximum performance.
