7.2

AIR CONTROL

THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST
NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS
SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the
chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length
and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other
factors including the amount of heat generated by the fi re which can be
measured by an appliance thermometer.
Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully, to a fast burn rate
with the handle fully out.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room through the
appliance and chimney connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an
uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fi re or permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open).
7.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE & CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
NOTE: Always check your smoke and CO detectors are working properly.
All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all and at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector in the room containing the
appliance. If the smoke detector sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the
smoke detector. If the carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately vent the area, evacuate and
call your local fi re department.
