(2) The magnetic damper auto matically admits air when Riteheat Regulator calls for heat Air travels below the grate (3) and upward behind the liners (A). (3) Grateprotected by 2-3 inch layer of ash at all times. (4) Liners-air travels upward be- hind the liners and is then deflect- ed into the combustion chamber by the liner retainers. (5) Liner retainers. (6) Cast iron combustion fluesmoke is forced baclr throught the fire before it can enter the combustion flue and exit out the chimney. (7) Air travels upward through secondary air duct where it is preheated before enter- ing the combustion flue. The secondary air provides the oxygen necessary for complete combustion to occur.
