Lopi wood stove controls (room, between, difference, moving)

[PV HANSEN]

We have an older lopi wood stove that has three sets of controls:
1- The lower set has two handles which slide horizontally and control the air into the fire box.

2- A single handled horizontal slide with six 5/8 in. holes located at the top of the fire box, and

3- The single handled control that pulls out and meters flow up the stove pipe.

Question: What is the function of no. 2 with the horizontal slide and six holes? How does it affect the fire when open, closed, or in between? I can't detect any difference in the fire one way or the other.

Please see the room sticky at the top of the room for what is and what is not on topic here. Thank you. Moving.
