your WinterWarm Insert's
controls and What They Do
All WinterWarm Small Insert controls are conveniently
located on the front. (Fig. 8)
Three controls regulate the performance of your Winter-
Warm Small Insert:
The primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire.
The damper directs air flow within the fireplace.
The variable-speed fan control, or rheostat, regulates
the warm air flow into the room.

A single air control regulates the amount of heat the fire
controls
will produce and how long it will burn.

The primary air control lever is located midway up
the left side panel. The lever regulates air for starting,
maintaining, and reviving the fire.
Generally, more air entering the stove makes the fire
burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn.
The WinterWarm Small Insert's air supply is increased
when the control lever is moved counterclockwise, and
decreased when moved clockwise. It may be set any-
where between the two extremes, however, depending
on the amount of heat desired. (Fig. 9)
To complement the manual setting of the air control,
the WinterWarm Small Insert has an internal automatic
thermostat that ensures an even delivery of heat at the
manual setting you select.

The Damper
The damper directs air flow within the fireplace. The
damper is operated by moving the lever located above
the door. It has two positions: Open, to start or revive
the fire; and closed, for normal operation. The damper
is open when the lever is to the far right, and closed
when to the far left. There are no intermediate settings
for damper position. (Fig. 12)
To open the damper, insert the fall-away handle into the
hole in the lever, lift up on the lever and move it to the
far right.
To close the damper, move the lever to the left, continu-
ing past the resistance to lock the damper in position.
