Bypass Operation
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When open, smoke goes directly up the flue,
creating more draft. When closed, the smoke goes through the combustor, utilizing the secondary
combustion system and making the heater more efficient.
• When starting or re-loading the stove, open the bypass.
• Once the stove reaches full temperature – typically 30 minutes, close the bypass.
The bypass handle is located on the left
side. Rotate it to open the bypass.
