Heater Controls and Features
Air Controls
The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls
that regulate 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 while prolonging the overall burn time.
The Primary Air control lever is located at the lower
front edge of the left side (looking from the front of the
stove). (Fig. 20) The lever operates the two air inlet
shutters which are on the front of the stove. Opening
the inlet shutters provides air for primary combustion.
To open the shutters, turn the lever counterclockwise.
The shutters are all the way open when the lever points
toward the front at a ”4:30” position. (Fig. 21) To close
the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The shutters are
fully closed when the lever points straight down. (Fig.
22)
The central Underfire Air control valve on the front
of the stove is operated with the multipurpose door
handle. The control opens when turned counterclock-
wise and closes when turned clockwise.
