3.2.4 Combustion Control & Chimney Damper
LE LAVAL fireplace includes a combustion air control that sets the flow of air entering the
firebox and control the fire. The fireplace also includes a chimney damper that is not a
combustion control. The chimney damper must always be in fully open position when the
fireplace is used and should be closed only when all ashes are cold.
The chimney damper is controlled by the handle inside the firebox (fig. 1-A). It is in closed
position when the handle is visible (front) and in the open position when not visible (pushed
back). The combustion air damper is controlled by the lower handle (fig. 1-B).The control can be
moved from open position at left all the way to the close position at right.
This air combustion control should be in the closed position when the fireplace is not in
operation. This will minimize air infiltration.
The combustion air control should be opened
before opening the doors to minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room
(figure 1-A) More details are available in section 3.2.9.
Warning: The air combustion control must be in the open position if the
fireplace is operated with the doors open.
