WARNING
6.1 BLOWER
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to pre-
vent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this
condition is not covered by the warranty policy. Use of the blower increases the output of heat.
The 1402 inserts comes equipped with two blowers. These blowers are thermally activated. Depending on the
intensity of the fi re, the blowers will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The heat sensor is located on the right
hand side of the unit. When fi rst starting the fi re, the sensor may be impeded by a large log or an unevenly
burning fi re, causing the blowers to cycle on and off. To control this, either build your fi re up evenly or turn
down the blowers until the right side of the fi rebox is hot.
You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top fi rebrick. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top
of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250 degrees Fahren-
heit (120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometer will help
regulate this.
Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operat-
ing! An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 14” above the fl ue collar.
Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.
Can’t get the fi re going?
Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is suffi cient com-
bustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good gauge
for small kindling diameter.
Can’t get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the appli-
ance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish a brisk
fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture being
driven from the wood.
RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH
THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES, TRIMS, ETC.)
COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATION.
ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE
APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER
CORD BENEATH THE APPLIANCE.
