Operation
The Encore Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore: a
primary air control
supplies oxygen for the fire, and a
damper
directs air flow within the stove to activate and
deactivate the catalytic combustor.
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct
directions for opening and closing the controls. The
symbols assume that you are facing the front of the
stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The
primary air control lever
, located on the right side
of the stove, controls the amount of incoming air for
starting, maintaining, and reviving a fire.
More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter
and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower
heat level. High and low settings appear in Figure 20.
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output
(but the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the
front of the stove. For a fire that will last longer with less
heat, move the lever toward the rear of the stove.
The Encore’s air control system also features an
automatic thermostat to ensure an even heat output
at whatever manual setting you select. The thermostat
senses the heating and cooling of the stove surface
and adjusts the air shutter accordingly.
A Damper Directs Air Flow
Within the Stove
The
damper handle
on the left side of the stove opens
and closes the damper to direct air flow within the
stove.
The damper is
open
when the handle points to the
back of the stove, enabling smoke to pass directly into
the chimney. The damper must be open when starting
or reviving a fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are
opened.
