SLIDER / DAMPER SETTING:
THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION.
A Qualified Service Technician or Installer must set the Slider Damper.
•If the fire should happen to go out and the heat output indicator has been set on the lowest setting, the Slider Damper should be pushed in slightly, decreasing the air in the firebox.
•If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the pellet quality is poor, this requires more primary air, the slider damper must be pulled out to compensate. Pulling the slider damper out gives the fire more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of the fire.
•A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air – Open slider (pull out) slightly.
•A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air – Close slider (push in) slightly.
•If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for proper operation.
The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output setting. This blower will increse or decrease the blower speed as the heat output setting is turned up or down.
