Quality
care
and
quality pellets
will help your stove operate at its peak efficiency. Consider:
If any
fines
are noticed in the pellets or in the hopper, you may wish to screen the pellets.
Periodically check the hopper to make sure there are no fines or pellets building up in the corners of the
sloping sides. Clean and polish the hopper as needed.
Be diligent in performing your
CLEANING
and
MAINTENANCE
requirements
.
IT IS CRITICAL FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
THAT THE DAMPER, COMBUSTION FAN SPEED AND HI-LO FUEL
FEED RATES BE SET CORRECTLY!
AIR INLET DAMPER:
The damper is a plate that helps control the amount of airflow supplied for combustion. With the damper pushed all
the way in the airflow is at its minimum. As the damper is pulled out, more air is allowed to flow through the
combustion area.
It will be necessary to monitor the appearance of the flame. Start by running your heater on HIGH (#4) setting for
approximately 10 minutes, then push the damper all the way in and evaluate the appearance of the flame. If your
flame is smoky red / orange with evidence of soot at the top of the flame, you need more combustion air. Continue
to pull out the damper about a 1/8” at a time, opening the damper as needed to obtain a flame that is yellow and a
fire that is brisk enough to carry ash out of the grate, but not so brisk that it carries pellets out as well (known as
“Pop corning”). Normally you should find that the damper will need to be closed two-thirds to three quarters, but will
vary with length of vent run, pellet quality and elevation.
Damper Adjustment Guideline
Lack of Combustion Air:
Symptoms of insufficient combustion
air include
: unburned fuel, lazy smoky or
red / orange flame, excessive ash or soot,
excessive buildup on glass, as well as
excessive amounts of ash build up in the
grate.
Contributing factors
: High Altitude –
Lack of oxygen, Restrictive Venting, Dirty /
Poor quality fuel or the burn grate may not
be seated properly.
Excessive Combustion Air:
Symptoms of excessive combustion air
include
: fuel burns to quickly resulting in
smoking or smoldering pellets, white to
yellow flame, and the burning pellets will lift
off the grate and fly up into the air (popcorning)
Contributing factors
: venting system providing excessive draft.
