damper Mechanism
The damper control lever is located inside the fire chamber (see Figure 32). Make sure lever is cool before handling. Pull down to close and push up to open. Damper must be open when lighting a fire. Not doing so will cause smoke spillage into the room. When fireplace is not in use, close damper to prevent down drafts to enter room.
Grate
