Replace the three rear stainless steel air tubes
by sliding them first to the right and then into the
mating holes on the left. Secure these in place
with the stainless steel cotter pins.
•
Before installing the front air tube, replace the
fiber baffle board and ensure it slides all the way
to the back. There should be a tight fit between
the board and the iron sides of the stove.

for starting, maintaining, and reviving the fire.

Montpelier Medium Insert has an integral convection
air blower that ensures an even delivery of heat at the
manual setting you select.
Air Control Lever
Fig. 9 The air control lever controls the amount of air entering
the firebox.
The convection fan delivers a steady stream of warm air
into the room. Use the fan speed control to regulate the
flow of air into the room. A thermal switch will automati-
cally de-activate the fan when the stove cools down.
When starting a fire in a cold stove, this switch will typi-
cally energize the fan within about 20 minutes, after the
stove heats up.
The fan speed should be set at "low" (fully closed) when
operating at low to medium burn rates and may be set
anywhere between "low" and "high" when operating at
high burn rates. (Refer to Figure 10 for fan access)
