closed when it is pushed in. The damper must by OPEN before the door is opened.
2. Blower Control: The blower control (Rheostat) is located on the side of the unit. The rheostat is used to
vary the speed of the blower. It can be set at any position. It must be turned on to activate the automatic
thermostat on the stove.
3. Primary Air Controls: The primary air intake draft controls are located at the left and right bottom side of
the hearth. They are operated by moving the handle out to open (to allow air into the firebox) or in (to
control or close off) the air into the firebox. Right side primary air and air wash control (3A). Left side, (3),
also called shot gun air control, allows air to the center of the firebox of the stove.
4. Warm Air Outlets: Provides heat extraction from the top of the firebox.
5. Baffles: Directs air flow around the unit for maximum heat transfer.
6. Air Inlet: Allows cool air near the floor to be circulated through the blower and back into the warm air

blower operates continuously. In the “Automatic” position, the blower is controlled by the internal
thermostat which reacts to the temperature of the air between the stove walls. (Not the same as the
temperature showing on the Catalyst Probe.)
