THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION. 

A Qualified Service Technician 

or Installer must set the Slider Damper

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. The 

slider damper knob is located on the left cab side (see Figure 7). 
If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has 

been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in 

slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the 

burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the 

pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper 

must be pulled out to compensate.  Pulling the slider damper out gives 

the fire more air.

The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to 

understand the characteristics of the fire. 

•  A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open 

slider (pull out) slightly.

•  A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close 

slider (push in) slightly.

Figure 7: Slider / Damper Knob.

•   If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with 

a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then 

the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 8.

The  combustion  exhaust  blower  is  a  variable  speed  blower 

controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease 

the  vacuum  pressure  inside  the  stove  and  as  the  heat  output 

button is turned down. 
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).

Due to fuel quality the slider damper and control board trims may need to be fine-tuned.
1. If the unit builds up on all settings, the slider damper rod should be pulled out in small increments to 

give the unit more air.

2. If the unit has excesses ash build-up in the liner on the lower feed settings, the Combustion Blower 

Trim should be increased one setting at a time until the problem improves (Factory Setting is #2).

3. If the fire is going out on low because the airflow is too great, the Combustion Blower Trim can be 

lowered to the #1 setting.

4. If the stove has excesses ash build-up in the liner on the higher settings the Feed Rate Trim should be 

trimmed down a setting at a time until the problem improves (Factory setting is #4).

5. If you need more heat and the fuel has long pellets, the majority are over 1” (2.5cm) in length, the 

Feed Rate Trim can be moved up to the #5 setting. NOTE: Only do this if the fuel burns without 

building up.
