AIR INLET CONTROLS

face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which
provides over draught, and
•The lower set of holes; the primary air inlet
providing under draught to the base of the fire
chamber through controls on the bottom of the
stove door.
PRIMARY AIR FOR MULTIFUEL
Air enters the appliance through the control on the
bottom of the fire door. The Aarrow Apex has a
single control knob which slides left to right.

housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire
door. Sliding the control knob to the right as far as it
will go achieves the fully open position. Sliding it to
