Note: Be aware that the damper adjustment mechanism may
be hot if the fireplace has been burning for any length of time.
Tofino fireplaces come with an adjustable vent damper. This damper is located behind the air deflector at the
rear of the inner firebox. Sometimes on installations that involve vertical venting configurations over10 feet
in height, the intake air tends to accelerate down the vent causing hectic flame action. This damper can be
closed partially to reduce the speed of the intake air and thus calm the flames to a more natural look. Over-
closure of this damper could cause an insufficient air supply to the fire, which would result in flames that
cause soot.
Damper Adjustment:
To adjust the damper, locate the bolt (10 mm or Phillips) on top of the fireplace at the front (Figure 46). Loosen
it and adjust the lever directly below the bolt and guide label (Figure 45).
•
To close the damper (for a 40' flue), push the adjustment mechanism away from you.
•
To open the damper (for a 10' flue), pull the adjustment mechanism toward you.
