Combustion Air Damper
Do not neglect to
adjust the
Combustion Air damper during the
break in period of your new Stove
(See Figure 23).
Your Element-P is
equipped with an air inlet damper.
The purpose of this damper is to
adjust combustion airflow to match
the characteristic of each specific air
inlet and chimney configuration. The
damper will most likely only need a
small adjustment during the break in
period. To know if the damper needs
to be adjusted you must observe how
Pellets burn in the Element-P Stove
with the Versa Grate system.
Figure 23
Procedure for adjusting the damper when burning the Element-P
When burning pellets make sure to check for the formation of creosote in the unit
and venting system. Constantly running the stove on a low setting with too much
combustion air may cause creosote to form. Burn pot temperatures can be “too
cool” when burning on low with too much draft.
(Read “PREVENTING CHIMNEY
FIRES” on Page 25)
The damper on your Element-P has been limited at the factory using a setscrew
.
Do not move
this screw.
a.
If a
heavy
black shiny build–up that is difficult to wipe off, is noticed on the glass and
inner surfaces of the stove an adjustment
decreasing
the Combustion Air should be made.
The build-up may not show up until the Stove runs in pilot mode (Heat Level 1) for an
extended period of time. If this build up occurs adjust the Damper by closing it. Close the
damper by moving the damper 1/16
th
of an Inch at a time. Wait 5-10 minutes after an
adjustment has been made to allow the fuel in the pot to equalize before making another
adjustment.
b.
Once the damper adjustment has been made for the pilot setting (Heat Level 1), slowly
advance the Control Board to the #5 Heat Level and observe the flame. If black soot
(wipes off easily) builds up on the glass and black smoke is visible at the tips of the
flames, open the damper 1/16
th
of an inch at a time. Wait 5 – 10 minutes before
attempting another adjustment. An occasional wisp of black smoke is normal.
