How do you work a Lopi wood fireplace insert?

We bought a house with a Lopi insert in the fireplace.... no instructions on how to use it? It is suppose to heat the room, however, only cool air is coming out? Help please.

  1. LOPI! first of all, it's a great product - i installed one for my father 2 years ago. i love those stoves. If you have never used a wood stove insert before, I would get it checked out by a quality chimney sweeper to make sure all is well with the unit and your chimney. and have everything cleaned. Lopi stoves usually have 2 levers: one to regulate how much air is let into the stove (more air = faster hotter burn), and a second to regulate how much air is let up the chimney (smoke gets trapped in the stove making it heat up more, making the stove more efficient) here is a document for a lopi stove... http://www.lopistoves.com/TravisDocs/100-01166.pdf it should give you some incite on what you have to do to get this unit running correctly. again, they are great stoves. i wish i had one!
