Delete the damper
A damper is a valve or plate
that stops or regulates air flow inside the chimney.
We bought a damper thinking it was part of what we needed, but found
out just in time that our Jotul
F 602 does not require
one due to it being air tight and having a rain cap to prevent Santa and other critters from entering.
The downside to a damper is how it restricts air flow even when it's
open and makes cleaning the chimney a lot more difficult.

Air regulator on front
Mark probably assumed you'd already picked this up from our earlier posts, but the stove has an air regulator on the front that does the work a damper usually does on older, non-air-tight stoves.
