APPENDIX
1:
AIR
CIRCULATION
BLOWER
The
blower
motor
bearings
are
factory
lubricated
for
years
of
trouble
free
operation.
Premium
Ecomaxx
Wood
heaters
are
fitted
as
standard
with
a
room
air
HEPA
grade
filtration
system,
as
explained
further
in
this
manual,
this
filter
eliminates
dust
from
the
sealed
blower
area
thus
eliminating
the
need
for
end
user
intervention.
Furthermore,
Ecomaxx
Woodheating
Pty
Ltd
expressly
implies
that
maintenance
inside
the
pedestal
area
should
only
be
carried
out
by
a
qualified
representative
of
Ecomaxx
Woodheating
Pty
Ltd.
There
may
be
risk
of
electric
shock
causing
personal
injury
even
death
by
opening
the
sealed
pedestal
chamber.
Opening
the
pedestal
unit
will
void
all
warranties,
whether
expressed
or
implied.
The
blower
is
installed
on
the
wood
fire
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
wood
fire
that
is
undersized
for
the
space
it
is
intended
to
heat.
Before
turning
‐
on
the
blower,
allow
the
wood
fire
to
reach
operating
temperature
(approximately
one
hour).
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.
