10. Install and Adjust the Controls.

The rods that operate the WinterWarm’s primary air, fan, and damper should be installed before mounting the column capitals and mantel. Two of the rods are 1/4” (6mm) and are controls for the fan and the primary

Install the two vertical sheet metal air dividers which guide the incoming and outgoing convection air. (Fig. 57) They are not interchangeable: the curved flange goes downward and faces the firebox. The two punchouts go toward the front.

Angle the front edge into position in the notch at the top of the column, while guiding the curved flange at the bottom so that it slides in on top of the curved horizon- tal flange that is cast into the firebox side.

•Check for proper position of the hex nuts on the threaded rods. The larger hex nut on the 3/8” (9mm) diameter rod should be positioned all the way to the end of the thread on the longer of the two threaded ends. The two smaller hex nuts on the 1/4” (6mm) rods should be positioned as follows: One should be positioned as far up the thread as possible; the other should stop approximately 1/2” (13mm) from the end.

•Install the fan control rod by inserting the 1/4” (6 mm) diameter rod with the nut all the way at the end of the thread into the bottom control lever on the WinterWarm’s left side. Install the rod all the way up to the nut.

•Tighten the hex nut against the lever.

•Thread the two remaining control rods into the re- maining two control levers. The lever above the fan control accepts the remaining 1/4” (6mm) rod; this is the primary air control. The lever on the right side of the WinterWarm accepts the 3/8” (9mm) rod; this is the damper control.

When installing the damper rod, look from above at the damper linkage. Note that the linkage should be flexed towards the rear. Make sure the linkage is in this orien- tation. The damper will not operated properly with the linkage flexed to the front.

•Thread each rod into the lever until it reaches the nut.
