damage the stove, so watch for signs of overfiring – if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the
fire is in an overfire situation and the controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave the
stove unattended for long periods without first adjusting the controls to a safe setting – careful air
supply control should be exercised at all times.
