Addendum for QCPS‐28000 Pellet Stove Owner’s Manual
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. SET THE AIR INLET DAMPERS
It is not possible for the manufacture to factory set your
stove to work properly without some adjustments. The
dampers help control the amount of airflow supplied
for combustion.
A damper PUSHED IN all the way, maximizes concentrated
air flow to the burn pot. This will maintain a robust fire.
The Auger timing is designed to be run, in most conditions,
with the dampers closed.
In some areas/conditions, it maybe be necessary to adjust
the damper open slightly in order to slow down the flame
and allow the pellets to keep pace with the rate of burn.
This should be monitored closely to ensure you have the
proper feed rate established.
If dampers are opened
too much, the rate of burn will be very slow and the
pellets will build up.
THIS SETTING NEEDS TO BE FINE TUNED TO ACCORDING
TO YOUR LOCATION AND ELEVATION. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU START WITH THE DAMPERS PUSHED IN TO START.
2. OPENING AND CLOSING THE MAIN DOOR
Open the stove door by rotating the handle counter clockwise, toward the top of the stove. Make sure
the stove door is pushed firmly against the stove and in the locked position before starting stove.
3. FILL THE HOPPER WITH FUEL
Ensure the hopper is clean of any debris, manuals, or other foreign objects that could jam up the fuel
feed auger. Use pellets made from sawdust and/or other wood by‐products. Premium grade pellets will
produce the highest heat output.
