1. Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary in individual use
depending on how the stove is operated, type and moisture content of fuels, and other factors. Maximum burn times are achieved under different
operating conditions than are maximum heat outputs.
2. These values are based on operation in building code-conforming homes under typical Writer climate conditions in the northeastern U.S. If your
home is of nonstandard construction (e.g. unusually well-insulated, not insulated, built underground, or if you live in a more severe or more temper-
ate climate), these figures may not apply. Since so many variables affect performance, consult your Dutchwest Authorized Dealer to determine
realistic expectations for your home.

Operation
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

Remove Ashes Frequently Wear heavy stove gloves when removing ashes. Check
the ash compartment before reloading the stove. If the
ashes are close to the top, empty the pan. Before re-
placing the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled
over the sides and back of the ash pan.
Empty the ash drawer regularly - typically every one to

hot you run your stove: the hotter the fire, the more
wood you burn, and the faster ash will accumulate.
