OPERATING CONTROLS
WARNING: Model 91 Bay Heater was not designed for fire grates.
NOTE: Do not use grate, elevate fire or build wood fire directly on hearth.
1. Bypass Damper: The bypass damper control is located in top center of heater front just under top. It is operated by pushing or
pulling rod. The damper is fully open when handle is pulled out and fully closed when it is pushed in. The damper must be OPEN
before door is opened.
2. Blower Control: The blower control (Rheostat) is located on side of the unit. The rheostat is used to vary speed of blower. It can
be set at any position. It must be turned on to activate automatic thermostat on stove.
3. Primary Air Controls: The primary air intake draft controls (4) are located at left and right bottom side of hearth. They are
operated by moving handle out to open (to allow air into the firebox) or in (to control or close off) air into firebox. Shot gun air
control, allows air to center of firebox of stove (4a).
4. Warm Air Outlets: Provides heat extraction from top of firebox.
5. Baffles: Directs air flow around unit for maximum heat transfer.
6. Air Inlet: Allows cool air near floor to be circulated through blower and back into warm air chamber of heater.

continuously. In “Automatic” position, blower is controlled by internal thermostat which reacts to temperature of air between the
stove walls. (Not same as the temperature showing on the Catalyst Probe.)
