can be negatively affected by variables present in the
installation environment, i.e: atmospheric pressure, strong
prevailing winds, adjacent structures and trees, snow
accumulation, etc. These conditions should be taken into
consideration by the installer and stove owner when plan-
ning the vent system design.

IMPORTANT
Vent Restriction
This appliance is equipped with Restrictor Plates which
enable you to regulate the flow of incoming combustion
air and exhaust gas. The plates prevent overly strong draft
that can cause poor combustion and weak flame picture.
Follow the guidelines below, and on the following pages,
to determine the correct restrictor plate setting for your
particular installation configuration.
Intake Air Restrictor
This plate is located at the rear of the firebox behind the
burner plate. It is set in a CLOSED position at the factory
and should be left there for most vent configurations.
It should be opened only for snorkel terminations and
some short run horizontal terminations as specified on
the following pages. To adjust the Air Restrictor to the
OPEN position, locate and loosen the wing nut under the
burner and push it back as far as it will go. See Fig. 6.

Exhaust Restrictor

The Exhaust Restrictor is an adjustable shutter located at
the top of the firebox. It is adjusted by moving a pivot pin
into one of four positions. It is set in the FULLY OPEN posi-
tion at the factory. See Fig. 7.
Use the chart in Table 1 to determine the correct
position for your installation and follow the instructions
below to adjust it if necessary.
Additional restriction may be needed depending the
overall vent height. Use Simpson Dura-Vent Restrictor
Disk #929.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Remove the Top Plate.
2. Locate the pivot pin at the left side of the firebox top.
Loosen the wing nut on the pivot pin and push the
pin to the left to disengage it from the current setting
position. Move the pin toward the rear and then right
to engage it in the appropriate position indicated on
the firebox. See fig. 7.
3. Tighten the lock nut and replace the Top Plate.
