Air Controls

The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the fire to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases heat output while prolonging the overall burn time.

The Primary Air control lever is located at the lower front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the stove). (Fig. 20) The lever operates the two air inlet shutters which are on the front of the stove. Opening the inlet shutters provides air for primary combustion.

To open the shutters, turn the lever counterclockwise. The shutters are all the way open when the lever points toward the front at a ”4:30” position. (Fig. 21) To close the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The shutters are fully closed when the lever points straight down. (Fig. 22)

The central Underfire Air control valve on the front of the stove is operated with the multipurpose door handle. The control opens when turned counterclock-
