Restrictor Adjustment

The exhaust restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, adjusting the amount of air flowing to the flame.

NOTE: the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system.

Not Enough Air:

If clinkers develop or the flame appears lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the firepot, pull the restrictor outward until the flame becomes active and the firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the restrictor is fully out (“5”), yet the firepot does not remain clean, the stove needs to be cleaned and checked for air leaks (see “Maintenance” section of this manual).

Too Much Air:

If the flames are too active (small, flickering flames) or if burning pellets are expelled from the firepot, move the restrictor rod inwards until the flame slows down and no burning pellets are expelled. Another symptom of too much air is the heater “blowing the fire out” – a condition in which the pellets burn faster than they are fed (this is most common on low)
