E. PRIMARY AIR
(Lower Air Control)
The primary air is controlled by the lever on the left side of
the appliance. When the control arm is pushed in, less air
is allowed into the firebox below the fire. When the control
arm is pulled out, maximum air is allowed in under the
fire. This lever is to be used during start up and refueling.

appliance.
F. SECONDARY AIR
The upper air control is controlled by the lever on the right
side of the appliance. When the control arm is pushed
in, less air is allowed into the firebox through this system.
When the control arm is pulled out, maximum air is allowed
through the system. The function of this air control is to
regulate the burn rate of the fire and provide air for the air
wash system to keep the front glass (also side glass for the
Curve 300 series) clean.
When the upper air control is closed and air is reduced
to the air wash system, the glass will soot up. This is
normal and to be expected. To help clean the glass off,
add additional fuel to the fire, pull out the upper air control
and pull out the lower air control lever for 15-30 minutes
to establish a hot fire. A hot fire with the upper air control
open will aid in cleaning the glass.
