Fig. 27 Assemble primary air control and damper handles. EWF36A Controls Three controls regulate the performance of the EWF36A fireplace: A primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, the damper directs air flow within the fireplace and a variable-speed fan control, or rheostat, regulates the warm air flow into the room.
How do you know if your draft is excessively high or low? Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrol- lable burn or a glowing-red part of the EWF36A front. A sign of inadequate draft is smoke leaking into the room through the stove or chimney connector joints, low heat, and dirty glass.

The Chimney System A Clean Chimney System is Safer and Works Better Although the combustion system in the EWF36A can reduce creosote formation dramatically, it is not a substitute for regular inspection and cleaning of the chimney and chimney connector.
Yearly Spring Cleaning: • Remove ash from the fire box and replace with a moisture-absorbing material (such as Kitty Litter) to keep the interior of the fireplace dry. • Touch up painted surfaces with black paint. 20005167 Vermont Castings EWF36A...

1. This warranty is transferable; however, proof of original retail purchase is required. 2. This warranty does not cover misuse of the EWF36A. Misuse includes overfiring which will result if the fireplace is used in such a manner as to cause one or more of the plates to glow red. Overfiring can be identified later by warped plates and areas where the paint pigment has burned off.
