APPENDIX C – FINE TUNING 

 

 

Because of the variability of pellets (i.e., length 
thickness,  density,  quality  of  sawdust),  fine 
tuning  may  be  required  for  your  heater  to 
compensate  for  pellet  quality.  Following  are 
some suggestions for fine tuning. 

There  are  three  (3)  fine-tuning  adjustment 
components: 

1.

 

The Trim Button located on the control plate 
(see  FIGURE  11)  changes  the  feed  rate  on 
each  setting  (i.e.,  Hi,  Med,  Low).  Turning 
the  trim  button  clockwise  will  increase  the 
feed rate. Turning the trim counterclockwise 
will  decrease  the  feed  rate.  For  example,  if 
the  pellet  being  used  is  a  hardwood  pellet 
and longer than 1”, then the stove could  go 
out on the low setting for lack of fuel. Turn 
the trim  clockwise to  increase fuel  and thus 
sustain the fire. 

2.

 

The  Air  Intake  Damper  control  located  on 
the  air  intake  module  (see  FIGURE  2) 
regulates  the  amount  of  combustion  air 
being fed to the pellet fire pot. For example, 
a high vertical  

run  of  pipe  (over  10’)  will  warm  the  pipe; 
consequently,  the  draw  can  be  intense 
enough  to  suck  more  heat  out  of  the  stove 
than  is  necessary.  To  make  the  stove  run 
efficiently, close the damper about 60% and 
see if the heat output increases. If, the pellets 
are not  getting enough air, then opening the 
air  damper  may  help.  Increasing  the 
combustion air utilizing the procedure in #3 
may also help. 

3.

 

The  Fan Trim Pot  Adjustment  is  located on 
the circuit board (see FIGURE 15). Note the 
two  fan  trim  pots  marked  on  the  drawing 
(lower  left  hand  corner).    Use  a  small  slot 
screwdriver  to  adjust  fan  speeds  to 
compensate for poor pellets or airflow. Turn 
the  trim  pots  clockwise  to  speed  up  the  fan 
speed on both Hi and Low settings. A good, 
brisk  flame  that  is  yellow,  not  orange,  is 
what indicates a good burn.
