Vermont Castings EWF36A
Operation
Attach Handles
The fallaway handles are used to open and close the front doors. Remove after each use so they will not get hot. Keep in convenient location for each use. (Fig. 27)
Assemble the primary air control and damper handles by passing the 3³⁄₈” screw through the ceramic shaft and into the bright metal hub. Tighten carefully until snug. Do not overtighten. Ceramic handle could crack.

EWF36A Controls
Three controls regulate the performance of the EWF36A fireplace: A primary air control supplies oxy- gen for the fire, the damper directs air flow within the fireplace and a
Primary Air Control
A single air control regulates the amount of heat the fire will produce and how long it will burn.

The primary air control is located in the upper left corner of the unit. (Fig. 27) It is the primary source of air for starting, maintaining, and reviving the fire.
Generally, more air entering the fireplace makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn.
The air supply is open to the maximum when the control lever is rotated clockwise, and closed when rotated counterclockwise. To vary the burn rate, adjust the con- trol to the desired position in between these extremes; opening the primary air control makes the unit burn hotter. Closing the control slows the unit down. You may adjust to any position you desire.
The Damper
The damper directs air flow within the fireplace.
The damper is operated by moving the lever located in the upper right corner of the unit. It has two posi- tions: Open to start or revive the fire and closed, for normal operation and to control burn rate. The damper is open when the lever is fully rotated counterclockwise and pulled out and closed when pushed in. When the damper is in the open position, with the lever pulled out, and rotated fully in the clockwise direction, the handle can ‘telescope’ back without closing the damper or any damper movement. There are no intermediate settings for the damper.
NOTE: Full clockwise or counterclockwise movement of the damper handle is approximately 50°.
NOTE: Always open the damper before opening the doors. Close damper to set burn rate.
