AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM 

In order to improve air circulation in the room where the wood stove is installed, certain 
options are available for specific stove models. 

Blower:

 

A variable speed-control blower is available.  The part number is 
AC02050. 

Thermodisc: 

The thermodisc is installed on the blower's electrical supply cord, and 
it will start the blower when the stove’s temperature reaches 120

°

 F 

(49°C) and cut off power when the stove cools down below 100

°

 F 

(37°C).  Information regarding installation of the thermodisc is 
included with the device. 

MAINTENANCE 

Your Drolet stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore require little maintenance. It is 
important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to 
insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed 
immediately. 

GLASS 

• 

Inspect the glass regularly in order to detect any cracks.  If you spot one, turn the stove 
off immediately.  Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.  Do not use 
the stove if the glass is broken. 

• 

If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the Drolet 
dealer. 

• 

To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door.  
Remove the mouldings and replace the damaged piece with a new one.  Perform the 
procedure backwards after replacing.  When replacing the glass, you should change 
the glass gasket to make sure you keep it sealed. 

• 

Never wash the glass with a product that may scratch. Use a specialized product, 
available in the stores where wood stoves are sold. 

• 

The glass should be washed only when cold. 

GASKETING 

It is recommended that you change the door gasket (which makes your stove door air 
tight) once a year, in order to insure good control over the combustion, maximum 
efficiency and security.  To change the door gasket, simply remove the damaged one.  
Carefully clean the available gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this 
purpose, and install the new gasket.  You may light up your stove again approximately 24 
hours after having completed this operation.
