Control
After activating the timer (ACC), if the control is placed
within the rear air section on the label it will allow rear air
to enter the fi rebox. This will not interfere with the timer
gradually closing the front air channel in 25 minutes. If
control is set on "HI" it over-rides the timer (ACC).
