Examine your WinterWarm’s damper after the first 50 
hours of use and adjust it if necessary.  Thereafter, 
check the damper at least once a year and adjust as 
needed.
Both fine and coarse adjustments to the damper are 
possible. Begin with the fine adjustment, which modifies 
the pressure on the damper plate directly; it will take 
care of most sealing problems. Proceed to the coarse 
adjustment, which adjusts the pressure at the damper 
latch, only if you cannot achieve a satisfactory seal with 
the fine adjustment.
To inspect how well the damper seals, first make sure 
that the fire is out and that the WinterWarm is cool. 
Open the front door, and close and lock the damper.  
Visually inspect the seal between the damper plate and 
the damper frame; there should be no gaps. Now, push 
gently on the damper — there should be some give, but 
no rattle.  If there is a gap in the seal or a rattle, adjust 
the damper.

3.  With the damper open, loosen the latch retaining 

screw.

4.  Move the latch approximately 1/8” (3mm) to the 

right, and retighten the retaining screw.

5.  Close and lock the damper, and check for gap and 

rattle.  Adjust the set screw as described under “Fine 
Adjustment.”

Repeat the coarse adjustment if necessary.

Try the Fine Adjustment First
1.  Open the door.
2.  Close and lock the damper.
3.  Locate the damper adjustment set-screw in the cen-

ter of the damper plate, and loosen its lock nut.

4.  Turn the set-screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise.
5.  Check the damper seal for gap or rattle.
6.  When the set screw position provides a good seal, 

tighten the lock nut. Be careful not to overtighten the 
set screw.

Follow Steps 1-3 of the fine adjustment procedure, 
then;
1.  Turn the set screw counter-clockwise several full 

turns.

2.  Lift off the mantel piece to expose the damper latch.

This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which 
needs regular inspection and periodic replacement 
for proper operation. It is against the law in the United 
States to operate this wood heater in a manner incon-
sistent with operating instructions in this manual, or if 
the catalytic element is deactivated or removed. 
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic com-
bustor should remain active for two to six years (de-
pending on the amount of wood burned). However, it 
is important to monitor the combustor periodically to 
ensure that it is functioning properly, as well as to de-
termine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning 
combustor will result in a loss of heating efficiency, and 
an increase in creosote and emissions.
The combustor should be visually inspected “in place” 
for fly ash accumulation and physical damage three 
times per year. Actual removal of the combustor is not 
recommended unless a more detailed inspection is war-
ranted because of diminished performance as outlined 
below.  
The refractory package that houses the catalytic com-
bustor should be inspected annually for a build-up of fly 
ash and cleaned if necessary. This may be done during 
examination of the catalytic combustor.
The catalytic combustion system includes an air supply 
for secondary combustion. The probe which controls 
the supply should also be inspected annually.
