16 Dutchwest 7001219 Heater Controls and Features Air Controls The Dutchwest Convection Heater has two air controls that regulate the amount of air drawn into the stove.

25 Dutchwest 7001219 Y our stove is only one part of a system that includes the chimney , the operator , the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the sys- tem works well.
