Secondary Air; Airwas System; Front Door Handle Operation; Front Door Seal - Heat & Glo CURVE 100 Owner's Manual

G. SECONDARY AIR
This unit is equipped with a secondary combustion system
that cannot be regulated. The purpose of this secondary
system is to provide air that will mix with the combustion
gasses and burn them. This reduces the amount of debris
and gasses being let out into the environment ensuring a
clean burn.
H. AIRWASH SYSTEM
An air wash system is built into the appliance and is
controlled by the upper air control on the right side of the
appliance. For models with three glass panes, each one
has a dedicated orifice for the airwash system. Even with
this air wash system, the glass panes will get dirty and
have build up. This is normal and can be cleaned using
a simple glass cleaner. Alternate glass cleaning products
specifically designed for cleaning glass panes on wood
burning stoves may be available from your dealer. Contact
them directly for product availability.
I. FRONT DOOR HANDLE OPERATION (Fig. 3)
To open the front door, pull the lever located directly
below the front glass left to right (be sure to wear the glove
provided if the unit is hot). Carefully swing the door open
from right to left. To close the door swing it shut from left
to right and close by pushing the handle from right to left.
When securing the front door closed, make sure both the

the door.

J. FRONT DOOR SEAL
The front door has a non-combustible rope which creates
a tight seal for the firebox. The first time you open the
front door and close it, the gasket may be stiff and the door
difficult to close.
Following the first fire, the gasketing will relax which will
allow the door to be closed easily for normal use which
provides a tight seal. This seal is critical for proper air
regulation in the firebox for safe and efficient burn. Though
this material is a high quality material specifically designed
for wood burning appliances, it is subject to normal wear
and tear and should be replaced if burn times are reduced
or there is concern of leakage.
The seal is subject to damage from excessive cleaning or
Figure 03 Door Handle Operation by debris being closed in the door. If there is a concern of
leakage, use a thin piece of paper, place against the gasket
in the area of concern, close the door and latch shut,
then gently tug on the paper. If the paper comes right out
without any resistance, the seal should be replaced.
