Fuel Choice Lever
The Fuel Choice Lever is operated with a coil spring handle
above the door. This control engages a catalytic combustor when
burning wood, and disengages it when burning coal.
To burn wood, use the coil spring to straighten the lever, then
push it in as far as it will go and leave it there. The coil spring
handle is centered over the door (Figure 1)
To burn coal, pull the rod out completely to disengage the cata-
lyst. Move the handle to the left before loading coal (Figure 2)
Bypass Damper
Opening the Bypass Damper prevents smoke from coming out
the loading door when you are kindling a fire or loading fuel.
The Bypass Damper Handle is in front of the loading door, so the
door cannot be opened unless the bypass is opened first.
When the bypass is open, smoke goes directly up the chimney
When the bypass is closed, the stove produces more heat, and
less smoke. Close the bypass as soon the the stove begins to
warm up.
Air Control
The air damper on the bottom of the Load Door controls the rate
the fuel is burned and the amount of heat that the stove produces.
Move the air damper to the right of the diamond mark to burn wood.
Move it all the way to the right to kindle a fire or maximum heat.
When burning coal, move the air damper all the way to the left. Ad-
just the damper slightly toward the middle to extend coal burn times.
Door Latch Detente
There is a small notch in the door handle. If you close the door
just to this notch, it will let air in at the edge of the door. This will
provide a small boost when kindling a fire.
Use the detente to add a little air when starting a wood fire, or
just after reloading.
