Heater Controls and Features
Air Control
The Dutchwest Convection Heater Model 2479 has a
control that regulates the amount of air drawn into the
stove. Generally, more air entering the stove allows the
fire to burn hotter and faster, while less air decreases
heat output and prolongs the overall burn time.
The Air Control Lever is located at the lower front
edge of the left side (looking from the front of the
stove). (Fig. 23) The lever operates two internal shut-
ters. Opening the inlet shutters provides air for primary
combustion.
To open the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The
shutters are all the way open when the lever points to-
ward the rear at a “9:00” position. (Fig. 24) To close the
shutters, turn the lever counterclockwise. The shutters
are fully closed when the lever points straight down.
