Restrictor Plate Adjustment for Extended Pipe Runs
The Stardance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate in
the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosening the
adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to slide up or
down, Figure 2.9. A guide for usage is shown in Figure 2.10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjustment by
the installer for optimum flame appearance. Optimum flame
appearance is a flame that is not subject to tall, dirty yellow
flames producing soot or flames lifting off of the ember bed
ports.
Restrictor Plate Adjustment
• Remove the screw in the back wall of the firebox.
• Install restrictor plate as shown in Figure 2.9 with cut out
on left side. Secure with adjustment screw.
• Measure from center of screw to top edge of diverter
(Figure 2.9) to adjust plate according to guidelines in
Figure 2.10.
• Tighten attachment screw.
• Install logs following log installation instructions.
