1. General operation
1.1 Combustion control:
Two valves are used
to control combustion. The first one
(Drawing
20),
controls the air intake in the combustion
chamber. The second one control the smoke outlet
(Drawing 21).
These two valves are controlled by
the same removable handle.
1.2 Air intake control
(Drawing 20)
:
The sliding
valve controlling the air intake is located above
the insert glass door. A special multi-purpose
removable handle is provided to open or close it.
Pull the handle to admit more air into the
combustion chamber. Push the handle to reduce
the air intake. In practice, the best position for
the valve will vary according to three factors: fire
intensity, chimney draught and wood humidity.
As a general rule, a fire will last longer if less air
is admitted in the combustion chamber. If a hot
and blazing fire is wanted, then open the air
intake fully.
1.3 Smoke outlet control:
This sliding valve is a
part the of the high efficiency HE deflector
system
(Drawing 22).
It is located in the middle
of the insert just above the air intake control
(Drawing 21)
. Use the multi-purpose handle to
operate it.
Close it to increase the combustion
efficiency by reburning the gases contained in the
smoke. Open fully when opening the door,
starting a fire or when using a firescreen or the
BBQ grill.
1.4 DANGER OF BURNS: Danger of burns
by
the excessive heat if the handle is left in place
when using the device. Always remove the
handle and store out of reach of children.
