Drolet NG1800 Stove User Manual


 
USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER
Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed,
upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the chimney faster. The bypass damper should
be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward
through the exhaust system. The bypass damper should also be used upon reloading to
avoid smoke spillage into the room. Before reloading your stove, open the primary air
intake control completely and then, open the bypass damper. Wait for approximately 10 to
15 seconds and open the stove door. Close the bypass damper when you are finished
reloading.
Never leave the bypass damper open under any condition unless you are
building a fire or reloading the unit. To open the by-pass damper, insert the removable
handle into the small rod extension located on the left-end side of the unit(Figure 1). Turn
the handle toward the left to open the damper(Figure 2). Turn the handle toward the right
to close the damper(Figure 3). If you have children, we suggest that you remove the
handle and store it away.

ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3
inches deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning.
