PELLET STOVE

ADJUSTMENTS

INITIAL SETUP It is critical for the correct operation of your stove that the burn grate, air inlet damper, combustion fan speed and fuel rate be set correctly!

1START THE APPLIANCE AS PER THE LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS.

The igniter light MUST be off in order to begin further adjustments; this

can take from 10-15 minutes to occur. Let the stove run until the igniter light goes off, then push the START / FEED RATE button several times until feed rate #4 LED lights up. Let stove run for 10-15 minutes.

Now you will adjust the air inlet damper. This will have to be set because the factory must be able to accomodate a wide range of installations and elevations as well as fuel length and quality.

2AIR INLET DAMPER

Slide open or close the damper as needed to obtain a fire that is brisk enough to carry ash out of the grate, but not so brisk that it carries whole pellets out as well; this is known as popcorning.

Normally, you should find that the damper will need to be 1/4” to 1/2” open. This may vary with length of vent run, pellet quality and elevation. The best way to set this is at feed rate #4. Adjust the damper rod 1/8” at a time, letting the stove burn for 1-2 minutes per adjustment, until pop- corning ceases.

DEFINITIONS

POPCORNING

Popcorning is the result of incorrectly set air flow, causing fresh unburned pellets (or barely ignited pellets) to be carried out of the burn grate and into the ash bin by high air flow. This occurs before more pellets have fallen into the burn grate (ie. It’s AIR that carries the pellets out, not the impact of newly dropped pellets. See SPARKING). A pellet that has been ‘popcorned’ out of the burn grate can glow for anywhere from several seconds to several minutes.

Figures A and B show popcorning at #1 feed rate.

SPARKING

Sparking occurs from the impact of fresh pellets being dropped into the burn pot and knocking parts of burning pellets out. Also, the natural burning of wood can create sparks. Sparks will glow in the ash bin generally for several seconds before burning out.

Figure C shows sparking at #4 feed rate.

PLEASE NOTE: Sparking is normal. Popcorning can be remedied by following step 2 above.

CAN/CSA B365 specifications

Dansons Group is a notable entity in the outdoor living and recreational market, recognized for their commitment to enhancing the backyard experience. Among their offerings, the group stands out for their adherence to safety and regulatory standards, particularly CAN/CSA B365, which pertains to the installation and operation of outdoor decorative and heating appliances. This Canadian standard is crucial for ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability across a range of products commonly used in outdoor spaces.

One of the main features of the CAN/CSA B365 standard is the comprehensive guidelines it provides for the installation of outdoor gas-burning appliances. These guidelines encompass a wide range of products, including fire pits, patio heaters, and outdoor fireplaces. The standard outlines critical requirements for gas connections, venting, and clearances from combustible materials to mitigate fire hazards and ensure optimal performance.

The technologies incorporated into products designed under the CAN/CSA B365 standard highlight innovation in outdoor heating. Many appliances leverage advanced burner technology that allows for efficient fuel consumption, minimizing waste while maximizing heat output. This technology not only enhances safety but also contributes to environmentally friendly practices by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the increasing consumer demand for sustainable outdoor solutions.

Another characteristic of products compliant with CAN/CSA B365 is their durability. The materials used in their construction are specifically chosen to withstand various weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV exposure. This ensures that consumers receive long-lasting products that maintain their aesthetic and functional appeal over time.

In terms of installation, the standard emphasizes user-friendliness. Manufacturers are encouraged to design their products with clear instructions and compatible components, allowing for straightforward assembly and installation. This user-centric approach not only enhances consumer satisfaction but also promotes safety by ensuring that appliances are installed correctly.

In conclusion, Dansons Group's focus on the CAN/CSA B365 standard underscores their dedication to safety, efficiency, and innovation in outdoor living products. By combining cutting-edge technology with strong compliance to safety standards, they continue to lead the way in enhancing outdoor experiences while providing consumers with peace of mind in their outdoor appliances.
