Air Control
The Dutchwest Convection Heater Model 2479 has a control that regulates 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 and prolongs the overall burn time.
The Air Control Lever is located at the lower front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the stove). (Fig. 23) The lever operates two internal shut- ters. Opening the inlet shutters provides air for primary combustion.

To open the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The shutters are all the way open when the lever points to- ward the rear at a “9:00” position. (Fig. 24) To close the shutters, turn the lever counterclockwise. The shutters are fully closed when the lever points straight down. (Fig. 25)
