THE SLIDER / DAMPER HAS BEEN SET AT THE FACTORY. This is used to regulate the airflow
through the pellet stove.
The slider damper knob is located on the left cab side (see Figure 5).
The slider damper factory setting has been set for peak efficiency
operation (see Figure 6).
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has
been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper may need to be
adjusted by a qualified technician only. Contact your local dealer.
For troubleshooting purposes the firebox vacuum pressure may need
to be confirmed. This should be done only on a hot stove (operating
for thirty (30) minutes or more) by placing a Magnahelic Pressure
Gauge in the firebox. The reading can be taken from the ⅛” (3 mm)
hole located in the front of the firebox under the door (see Figure 7).
The factory setting should read approximately 0.065 inches of
water column on the high fire setting.

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).
