Two Controls Operate the Stove
The primary air control lever, located beneath the
ashlip, regulates how much heat the stove produces by
controlling the amount of air received by the fire. The
more air supplied, the hotter the fire. (Fig. 27)
With a travel range of about 6" (159 mm), the air con-
trol is closed when the lever is fully left. Maximum heat
is produced when the lever is fully right. It may also be
set anywhere between a "start-up" position and the high
and low extremes to achieve a desired heat output. A
directional arrow cast into the Acclaim's ash lip serves

as a reminder of the correct "open" and "closed" posi-
tions.
The damper handle is located on the right side of the
stove and controls air flow within the stove. (Fig. 27)
The damper is open when the handle is toward the rear
of the stove, and the combustion gases exit directly out
the flue collar. When the handle is pulled forward and
locked, the damper is closed, secondary combustion
occurs, and the stove operates most efficiently.
The damper must be fully open or fully closed. There
are no intermediate positions for the damper handle.

Convenient top-loading of wood through the Acclaim's
stovetop griddle supplements traditonal fireplace-style
loading through the front door.
The griddle simply lifts to open.
The front door employs a rotating cam and a door latch
tab to secure it. The handle points down when the door
is closed.
To open the front door, pull on the handle to release the
cam. To close it, push the door until the latch engages.
Double-check the latch by pushing lightly on the handle.
When the latch is properly secured, the door will remain
closed.
For clear fire viewing, the front door features a large,
self-cleaning glass panel. The front door may be
opened (or even removed) and the optional spark
screen clipped in place for open-fire viewing as well.
