1 2 Installation (For Qualified Installers Only)
Alcove Installation Requirements
When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.
• | Minimum height is 55" | • | Maximum depth is 48" |
• | Minimum width is | • | Minimum clearance of 7" on each side and 3" on back |
Baffle Installation
Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 31 for details).
Door Seal Verification
The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to become
Restrictor Adjustment
The restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every installation.
NOTE: the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system – make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
Not Enough Air
If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump) 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, 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)
