Baffle Installation
Install the baffles included with the insert (see page 27 for details).
Restrictor Adjustment
The exhaust 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 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)
