Controls Explained
Primary Air Intakes
The primary air intakes are located at the bottom of each door, they are in the form of
spinners. Having the spinners turned fully anti-clockwise indicates the intake is fully open
(and fully clockwise means it is fully closed). This particular air intake is adjustable
throughout its travel to control the total amount of air entering below the grate for
combustion.
The primary air intake is used on initial firing of the stove or when burning coal etc. Please
see the BURNING COAL for a more in depth description.
Secondary Air Intake
The secondary air intake is the spinner located above the doors, as with the primary intake
fully anti-clockwise is fully open and fully clockwise is fully closed. Air entering through this
control is pushed down the inside of the glass creating the Airwash System – see below.
This particular design also allows the air to be released on top of the grate which is ideal
when burning wood products. Please see section BURNING WOOD.
Tertiary Air Intake
The tertiary air intake is a flap located on the right hand side of the stove, This control
allows air to enter at a higher point inside the burn chamber and will provide an extra boost
of heat. This control can be used at initial start-up and when an additional boost of heat is
required.
Airwash System
Airwash is a system where secondary air is drawn down the inside of the glass by
combustion. The flow of air helps prevent the smoke coming into contact with the glass. It
does not mean that you will never have to clean the glass, but substantially lengthens the
periods between cleaning. The air-wash system works best when burning dry wood as
wet wood will produce more deposits on the glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of
the glass when the stove is operated on low heat for extended periods (where fuel is only
just smouldering).
