Appendix  3:  Installation  and  Use  of  the  Optional  Blower 

(AC02050), and Use of Thermodisc (AC05530, AC02055) 

 

An optional blower can be 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.  You  can  purchase  this  option  through  your 
ENERZONE dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: # AC02050
