With the Woodbox combustion system, the air needed for the combustion can be brought from above or below
the fi re according to the type of fuel used.
A wood fi re must be fuelled from above (upper air supply), while a coal fi re is better fuelled from below (lower
air supply). The two controls allow the air fl ows to be controlled separately.
The buffer regulators, which allow an air fl ow from both above and below at the same time, rapidly and
intensively stoke the fi re. Such adjustments can be used to light the fi re easier or to burn the soot deposits
on the glass pane. However, the buffer settings can only be used for short periods as it can cause the
appliance to overheat.

One flap is open, bringing the air from above the fire. By going around
the heater, the air is warmed before it reaches the fire and this allows a
clean and efficient combustion. The lower air supply is closed.
Lightning

Open
The two flaps are open to bring the maximum amount of air to the fi re,
to make lighting it easier.
