4A
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
(slider)
The primary air control is found on the front left hand door, it is in the style of a slider. See fig 1.
This will be used mainly when first lighting and establishing a new fire. This control allows combustion air to
enter the appliance from below the grate.
When the slider is moved to the left, it is letting less combustion air in. When slid to the right, the
regulator is opening, letting more combustion air in.
4B
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL
(slider)
Also on the left hand door is the ‘secondary air control’ in the style of a slider.
See fig 1.
Combustion air entering the stove through this vent will be directed down the inside of the glass panel, this
is known as the ‘air wash system’. It helps to keep sooty deposits from sticking to the glass and obscuring
the view of the flames. Having clean glass also improves the heat radiation to be uninterrupted.
This control will primarily be used to control the combustion rate once a fire is established. When the slider
is moved to the left, it is letting less combustion air in. When slid to the right, the regulator is opening,
letting more combustion air in.
4C
FLUE DAMPER CONTROL BAR (pull push lever)
The ‘flue damper control’, in the style of a pull push lever, can be found on the top right corner of the front
side of the cooker, between the protection bar and the oven door.
FLUE DAMPER
CONTROL
This control has two settings.
•
HOB COOKING ONLY:
When the bar is pushed to the back of the cooker
, the combustion
gases flow over the oven and directly into the flue and up the chimney.
•
OVEN COOKING:
When the control bar is pulled out, the hot combustion gases flow around the
oven, heating it, then they exit the stove. This control is operated,
only when the fire is established and burning HOT.
PLEASE READ CHAPTER ON ‘Lighting and maintaining your fire’ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

OVER-FIRING WARNING
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT TO LEAVE ALL OF THE AIR CONTROLS FULLY OPEN. LEAVING
THE AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN WILL LEAD TO “OVER-FIRING”. OVER-FIRING IS CAUSED WHEN
TOO MUCH HEAT IS GENERATED WITHIN THE FIRE CHAMBER, THIS WILL LEAD TO WARPING,
BUCKLING AND GENERAL DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND ITS INTERNAL COMPONENTS. OVER-FIRING
CAN ALSO BE CAUSED BY RUNNING THE APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR(S) OPEN OR IF YOU HAVE AN
EXCESSIVE FLUE DRAW.
