Controls Explained
Air Intake
The air intake control is located at the bottom of the door in the centre. Having the control
slid completely to the left indicates the intake is fully open. When the control is positioned
fully to the right the intake is completely closed. This particular air intake is adjustable
throughout the area of travel left/right to control the total amount of air required for suitable
combustion.
Air wash System
Air wash is a system where air is drawn into the stove (by combustion) through the air
intake and is deflected down the inside face of the glass, thus preventing the smoke
coming into contact with the glass. It does not mean that you will never have to clean the
glass, but substantially lengthens the periods between having to do so. The air-wash
system works best when burning dry wood. Wet wood will produce more deposits on the
glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass when the stove is operated on low
heat for extended periods (where fuel is only just smouldering).
Ash Pan
The ash pan should be removed when the stove is cold and not alight.
