The damper should be kept closed (pushed allthe way in) when the unit is not in operation or if no outsideair is available. The damper is fully open when pulled for-ward (one inch from the closed position).FIGURE 20OPERATION / MAINTENANCENever obstruct the flow of combustion orventilation air.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSWhen lit for the first time, the stove will emit a slight odourfor a few hours.
