Operation; Controls And Features - HearthStone 8030 Owner's Manual

Once your Castleton is installed, you are ready to
light a fire.
Every installation, season's firewood, and operator's
technique varies. Learn how to use your stove most
efficiently for your installation. We can give you the
basic principles, but only you can ensure maximizing
the potential of your stove while also operating it
safely.

ONTROLS AND EATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the
location and operation of your stove's controls and
features and learn how to use them (See Figure 11).
For your own safety, do not modify these features in
any way. We recommend you use fireplace gloves
when the stove is in operation and hot.

FRONT DOOR HANDLE: The firebox door allows
you to load wood into your stove; a wood handle
operates the door. To open the door, pull up on the
handle and swing the door away from the stove. To
latch the door, push the door tightly towards the
firebox then continue to push the handle in and
down until it latches shut. Gently pull on the door
handle to make sure it is properly latched.

Operation

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: The primary air control
lever is located under the center of the ash lip. The
primary air control allows you to regulate the amount
of air entering the firebox. Generally, the more air
allowed into the firebox, the faster the rate of burn;
conversely, less air creates a slower burn. For
maximum air flow, move the lever to the left as far as
possible; move the lever as far right as possible for
minimum air flow (does not close completely).
