fl
ame increasing the amount the damper is open as the heat setting is
increased. (See
“DAMPER CONTROL”
)

If
fi
re doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “Power”, wait a few minutes and start procedure again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove’s lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied burn char-
acteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the ef
fi
ciency of your stove.
Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup of creosote inside
your stove and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the
fi
re’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty
fi
re can be improved by pulling the damper out
slightly. A “blow torch”
fi
re can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper should be more open.
Through trial and error, you will
fi
nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE:
On “1”, damper should be either completely closed or out approximately
⅛
” to ¼”. If damper is out too far, it can cause the
fi
re to
go out.
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If the stove shuts
down push the “Power” button to continue the operation of your stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually takes about 10
minutes from start-up.
