This unit is designed to operate within a negative pressure range that may only be adjusted by a qualified
technician. This can be measured using a Magnahelic pressure gauge once the unit has been running on heat
level 5 setting after one hour of burn time. This adjustment is necessary for varying venting configurations.
The reading can be taken from the ⅛" hole located on the top right hand side of the door.
The Combustion Trim, Feed Trim and Fuel Type Functions can be used to compensate for varying fuel
qualities. Refer to the Owners Manual for circuit board operation.
If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that
the fuel quality is poor - this requires more air.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of the
fire.
• A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air.
• A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air .
• If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no
black tips then the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 16.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Fuel quality is a major factor in how the stove will operate. If the fuel has a high moisture content or ash
content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers
(hard ash build-up).
