HOW THIS FIREPLACE WORKS
For large fires, the maximum heating benefit from the fireplace will be | Fireplace | |||
obtained with its glass doors fully open. The open doors will allow more | ||||
| ||||
radiant heat to be emitted out of the front opening of the fireplace. When |
| |||
the glass doors are open, close the fireplace’s mesh screens |
| |||
to help keep burning embers from popping out of the firebox. |
| |||
With a small fire, it is best to operate the fireplace with its glass doors |
| |||
fully closed to prevent excessive room air from being drawn up the | Glass Doors Fully Open | |||
chimney. To prevent room air from escaping up the chimney overnight, | ||||
| ||||
close the fireplace glass doors before retiring in the evenings. |

With the provided AK6A combustion air kit installed on the |
| Figure 4 - Incorrect Position | ||
|
| |||
fireplace, outside combustion air may enter the firebox through | Air Combustion Control Lever | |||
a dampered opening located on the left side of the fireplace. |
|
| ||
This feature reduces the room air used for combustion and |
|
| ||
prevents excessive heat loss from the room. When the fire- |
|
| ||
place is in use, this damper should be open. When the |
|
| ||
fireplace is not in use, the damper may be closed to prevent |
|
| ||
cold air from entering the firebox. The outside combustion |
|
| ||
air control lever is located inside the fireplace firebox just |
|
| ||
above the brick panel on the left side of the firebox as shown |
|
| ||
by Figure 5. |
