6.2 AIR CONTROL
ASH LIP
6.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS
Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length and diameter of chimney, local ge-
ography, nearby obstructions and other factors including the
amount of heat generated by the fi re which can be meas-
ured by an appliance thermometer.
Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft
can be adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully,
to a fast burn rate with the handle fully out.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room
through the appliance and chimney connector points and
may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an
uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fi re or permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open).

ll homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm,
correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.
