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. 21) 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. 22) To close
the shutters, turn the lever clockwise. The shutters are
fully closed when the lever points straight down. (Fig.
23)
The secondary air inlet, over the side door, admits air
to the catalytic combustor only, for high efficiency at
high combustor temperatures. Use a gloved hand or the
metal tip of the door handle to adjust this inlet. Opening
or closing this inlet will not strengthen the fire; generally
this inlet should be about one turn open for low fires,
and 1¹⁄₂ to 2 turns for medium and high fires.
