Summer Burning:
The cookstove features a utility which allows you to use
your stove during the summer months with less heat radiat-
ing from the firebox.
To use the summer position in the Blackwood you will need
to purchase the optional #4271 summer grate support. Call
your dealer to order, or call direct to AGA Marvel.
1. Remove the wood grate from the lower firebox position
by pulling the grate up, back end first, and out of the
firebox.
2. Remove the wood grate slide from the wood grate. Place
the "summer position wood grate stand" at the back of
the firebox on the firebox extension.
3. Place the fire grate so the back of the fire grate rests on
the stand, and the front rests on the top of the front brick.
You are now ready for summer cooking.

UNDERSTANDING COMBUSTION
An "Airtight" House:
If your home is well insulated or especially well sealed, the
infiltration air supply to the interior of the house may be in
-
adequate. This phenomenon of air starvation can be exac-
erbated if exhaust fans (such as clothes dryers, bathroom
fans, or cook stove exhaust fans) are used in your home.
Outfitting your stove with the optional fresh air kit adapter,
connected to an air duct leading to the outside of your
home, should correct this problem.
