Enviro Evolution, C-10825 Slider Damper Located Behind Left Side panel. To open, Special Notes

Installation

SLIDER/DAMPER SET-UP:

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove. The slider Damper has been factory set for German test pellet fuel.

	The	slider		damper		is
	located		behind		the	left
	side panel. To open the
Air Intake Box	left side panel, undo the
	one screw located in the
Exhaust Channel
	upper front corner of the
Slider Damper	cabinet		side		between
Exhaust Blower	the louvers. Also loosen
	three screws down the
	back of the side panel.

The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output button. This blower will decrease the vacuum pressure inside the stove and as the heat output button is turned down. The vacuum pressure inside the firebox will increase as the combustion exhaust blower increases in speed (higher heat output setting).

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.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Pellet quality is a major factor in how the Pellet stove will operate. If the pellets have a high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).

Taking a reading of vacuum pressure inside the firebox with a magnehelic gauge can be used to set the slider for best combustion. The best settings are a reading of approximately 0.10 inches of water column on the high fire setting. Some fuels may require higher or lower settings. The reading can be taken from the 1⁄8” (3 mm) hole located on the front of the unit below the door and behind the magnetic ash lip.
