Start-up Air System
The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through
the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start-
up Air Control.
Primary Air System
The primary air enters at the upper front of the firebox, near
the top of the glass door. This preheated air supplies the
necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases,
helping to create second, third and fourth combustions.
This air is regulated by the Primary Air Control. For more pri-
mary air push control "IN", for less air pull control "OUT"..

H. Blower Operating Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a 15° thermally operated
snap disc which will automatically turn the blower on when
the insert reaches this temperature.
The snap disc is located at the center of the insert, under
the lower grille. There is a manual override switch on
the right side of the insert. The blower can be controlled
manually by switching this switch to ON and operating the
blower with the speed control. Figure 27.2.
1. Initial (cold) startup: Leave fan off until your insert is hot
and a good coal bed is established, approximately 30 min-
utes after fuel is lit.
2. High Burn Setting: The fan may be left on throughout the
burn.
3. Medium or Medium High Burn Setting: The fan should
be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on a
medium or high rate.
4. Low Burn Setting: The fan tends to cool the insert. Leave
fan off until the burn is well established; then, if you wish, turn
the fan on at a low rate.
5. The fan is equipped with a rheostat (speed control). The
highest fan speed is obtained by turning the rheostat on, then
adjusting back towards "OFF" as far as possible without turn-
ing the fan off. For a low fan speed, turn the control knob
clockwise as far as possible.
