The cat air is the small brass damper up top, leave that guy open just a tiny bit for normal burns (this feeds air to the cat for high burns) or close it for long slow overnight burns. When you start the stove leave the top lever open this is the cat bypass(also you must open the bypass if you need to open the door on the stove), and open the secondary air on the side door about 3/16" to 1/4" open. For some reason the stove works best with the primary air closed (and ashbin full) and leave an 1" or 2" of ash in the firebox too. Personally I found my stove ran best with the primary closed all the time and also left the ashbin full too. I ran the FA264CCL aka Large Federal for a couple decades, you have the XL Federal Airtight.
