Shutting Off The Stove; Combustion Air Damper Adjustment - St. Croix SCR Installation & Operation Manual

Shutting The Stove Off
(Refer to Figure 23)
1. Press the On/Off switch once; the lights will go off and the fire will go out in a few
minutes. The board essentially goes into "Safety Shutdown".
2. As long as the temperature within the Exhaust System remains above 110°F, the
Combustion (Exhaust) Fan will continue to run. When the P.O.F. switch drops out the
Combustion Fan will run for another 10 minutes before finally shutting down completely.
NEVER unplug the Stove to shut it off. Doing so may cause a significant amount of
smoke to enter the room.

Combustion Air Damper Adjustment

Do not neglect to adjust the Combustion Air Damper during the break in period of your
new Stove (See Figure 27 below). Your Stove is equipped with an air inlet damper. The
purpose of this damper is to adjust combustion airflow to match the characteristic of each
specific air inlet and chimney configuration. See figure 25 on page 39 for initial damper
adjustments. The damper will most likely only need a small adjustment during the break-
in period. Break-in requires the burning of 15 bushel of corn or 15 bags of pellets or a
continuous burn for two weeks. The setscrew is a useful tool in making adjustments to
the Air Intake damper . Adjust the damper by turning the screw a 1/2 turn counter-
clockwise to open (Remember to use the handle to place the damper against the
screw) or by turning the screw a 1/2 turn clockwise (closed). Wait 10 minutes to allow
the burn to adjust to the new setting. Making too many changes in a short period of time
will not allow for an accurate adjustment. To know if the damper needs to be adjusted
you should learn to recognize how Corn, Wheat, Rye, Pellets, Cherry Pits & Distiller's
Grain burn in this Stove system.
