BUCK STOVE FEATURES
Before attempting to install or operate your BUCK STOVE, It is agood idea to familiarize

1. DAMPER: The damper contrails located In the center of the stove, just underthe stove top.
Ilis operated by lifting up on the control handle, and then pushing or pulling the handle. When
the handle is lowered, the
control locks Into position. The damper Is fUlly open when the con·
trol is pushed if" and fully closed when the handle is pulled oul. The damper must be opened
before the
doors are opened.
2. DOOR HANDLES: The door handles on the BUCK STOVE are air cooled and shielded. The
handle on the right hand
door latches the doors shut, while the left hand handle is fixed. To
open the doors, rotate the right handle up, or
counter clockwise one quarter turn, and pull the
doors open. The doors are closed and locked by reversing the procedure.
3. BLOWER CONTROL: The blower control switch is located on the lower right side of the
stove front. This
switch controls the functioning of the builtin fan. In the "MANUAL" position,
the
blower operates continuously; in the" AUTOMATIC" position, the blower is controlled by
an internal
thermostat in the stove which reacts to the temperature of the air between the
stove walls. The speed
of the blower is then dependent primarily on the size of the fire in the
firebox.
A CAUTIONI DO NOT unplug the blower during stove operation!

doors. They are operated by
sliding the controls to uncover more or less of the draft air inlets.
