AIR CONTROLS
The Masport Bowden range of wood heaters feature
a single air control system. It is designed to introduce
oxygen into the base of the fire, controlling the rate of
combustion of the wood. In addition, oxygen is drawn into
the upper firebox where combustion of the gases occurs.
The air control is operated by sliding the black metal tab
located on the top right side of the heater. Pulled all the
way out offers maximum burn rate, while pushed all the
way in offers minimum burn rate. See below:
The air slide tab may become hot when fire has been
burning for some time.
Secondary air holes in the rear of the firebox provide
additional oxygen for a more complete combustion of the
gases released from the burning wood.

DOOR HANDLE
Warning: the door handle may get hot if appliance has
been left in high burn setting for an extended period of
time. Please exercise caution when operating.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
The first few times the appliance is lit, it will give off some
odorous fumes. This is caused by the paint curing.
Do not touch the paint work while it is curing otherwise it
can leave a permanent mark on the appliance.
Once the paint has cured it will not re-occur.
Keep the room well ventilated until these fumes have
cleared.
