Restrictor Adjustment

The restrictor is used to adjust airflow to the firepot.
and burn the pellets at the appropriate rate. This keeps the firepot as clean as possible.
For low heat output settings the restrictor will need to be closed or near closed to limit the amount of air.
This prevents the stove from burning the pellet fuel faster than it is fed.
For medium heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a medium position.
For high heat output settings the restrictor will need to be opened to a high position. This prevents the
firepot from over-filling with pellets and becoming clogged with ash clumps.
Keeping your firepot clean is the most important step to maintaining a safe and efficient stove. Check and
clean your firepot daily until you find the correct restrictor settings and appropriate firepot cleaning interval.
Not Enough Air
If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a clump)
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, 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 (note: it is okay to have "glowing
embers" jump out of the firepot). 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).

Power Outages

If a sustained power outage occurs while in "Manual",
the stove will go to a "cool down" mode to vacate
smoke once power returns. If the power outage was
short, the heater will go to the start-up sequence. If in
"Auto", the stove will re-start (if the room is cool).
! Because this stove relies upon a blower to
evacuate the smoke, some smoke may enter the
home during a power outage. To keep to a
minimum, leave the door closed.
