Page 5: Operation
OPERATION AIR CONTROLS The CHAMELEON is designed to use outside air for combus- tion. The control for the outside air is located on the left side, underneath the door (see Figure 1). Pushing the control handle to the far right will completely open the outside air damper and allow fresh air into the base of the fireplace. -

PAINT You can touch up the face of the CHAMELEON with Stove Bright Metallic Black high temperature paint which is available at most fireplaces dealers. Follow the directions outlined on the spray can. DO NOT attempt to paint the fireplace while it is still warm. - Page 7 The most important factor for controlling the burning rate of the CHAMELEON is a good seal on the door gasket. If the door gasket is worn or damaged to the point where the seal is not adequate as described above then remove and replace the gasket.
