Controls Layout
The stove is fitted with two air controls which need to be correctly operated in order to
light and maintain a fire. Both controls are situated below the door of the stove (as
indicated on the diagram below) and are in the form of left/right sliders.
Controls Explained
Primary Air Intake
The primary air intake is the right slider situated below the door at the front of the stove.
Having the slider fully to the left would indicate the intake is in the minimum position.
When the slider is fully to the right the intake is the maximum position. This particular air
intake is adjustable throughout the area of travel left to right to control the total amount
of air required for suitable combustion.
The primary air intake is used on initial firing of the stove or when burning coal etc.
