Restrictor Adjustment

The restrictor "fine tunes" your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the
firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every
installation.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –
make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
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 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).
