Appendix 2: Use and Installation of Blower and Optional
Thermodisc
A blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase the flow of air past heat exchange
surfaces and to help circulate warm air in the room. When used regularly, the blower can
provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2 percent. However, the use of a blower
should not be used as a way to gain more output from a stove that is undersized for the
space it is intended to heat.
When using the blower, allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one
hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the blower cools the firebox and
could affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the blower is turned on too early. You can
also install a thermodisc to enable the blower to start or stop automatically when the stove
is hot or too cold. The thermodisc part number is AC05530 for a basic model and
ACO2055 for a quick connect model. Installation instructions are supplied with the blower
and the thermodisc.
