Restrictor Adjustment; Adjusting The Fan Speed - Avalon Astoria Pellet Stove Astoria PS Owner's Manual

Restrictor Adjustment

The exhaust restrictor "fine tunes" your appliance, adjusting the amount of air flowing to the flame.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system.
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).
