Question
We bought a home with a Dover by Heatilator cast iron ,N.G. fueled, free standing stove, model GA272383.
It has a rocker switch on the upper left hand back of the stove with wires to the fuel valve.  There are no power wires nor can we find battery holders.  What does the switch do and should we find an operator/owner manual on line?
Thank you!
Steve

Answer
Hello Steve, that might be for a blower, but with out the owners manual it is had to say, try to find it and go from there, you could try your local wood stove store, you might get lucky with them doing the original install.
I would also have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have to be sure it is installed correctly and  is safe to use.
