Operation
The Encore Controls
Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore: a primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a damper directs air flow within the stove to activate and deactivate the catalytic combustor.
Symbols cast into the stove are reminders of the correct directions for opening and closing the controls. The symbols assume that you are facing the front of the stove.

A Single Air Control Regulates
Heat Output and Burn Time
The primary air control lever, located on the right side of the stove, controls the amount of incoming air for starting, maintaining, and reviving a fire.
More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower heat level. High and low settings appear in Figure 20.
For the greatest air supply and maximum heat output (but the shortest burn time), move the lever toward the front of the stove. For a fire that will last longer with less heat, move the lever toward the rear of the stove.
The Encore’s air control system also features an automatic thermostat to ensure an even heat output at whatever manual setting you select. The thermostat senses the heating and cooling of the stove surface and adjusts the air shutter accordingly.

A Damper Directs Air Flow
Within the Stove
The damper handle on the left side of the stove opens and closes the damper to direct air flow within the stove.
The damper is open when the handle points to the back of the stove, enabling smoke to pass directly into the chimney. The damper must be open when starting or reviving a fire, and whenever the griddle or doors are opened.
