If your wood appliance is equipped with
an optional blower, you should follow
these guidelines:
Burn Rate
Air Control
Handle Up = Open
Handle Down = Closed

M. Blower Operating Instructions
1. Initial (cold) startup:
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up to the
High setting. The blower tends to cool the appliance.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established,
i.e., 30 minutes.
2. High Burn Setting:
Raise the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up to the
High setting. The blower may remain on.
3. Medium High Burn Setting*:
Burn Rate Air Control is closed then opened to 1 inch
(pull up). The blower may remain on.
4. Medium
Low Burn Setting*:
Burn Rate Air Control is closed then opened to 1/4 inch
to 1/2 inch (pull up). Leave the blower off for the first 30
minutes until the burn is well established.
5. Low Burn Setting*:
Burn Rate Air Control is closed (down position). Leave
the blower off for the first 30 minutes until the burn is
well established.
When reloading the appliance, raise the Burn Rate
Air Control all the way to the High setting for 5 to 15
minutes before setting to the desired burn rate.
6. The blower is equipped with a rheostat (speed control).
The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the
rheostat on, then adjusting back towards “OFF” as far
as possible without turning the blower off. For a low
blower speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far
as possible
NOTE:
For maximum efficiency and lowest emissions,
when operating the blower in either the automatic
or manual setting for the low and medium low
burn settings leave the blower off until the burn is
well established, i.e., 30 minutes.
7. Snap Disc Location:
If you find the blower coming on and off at undesirable
temperatures, relocate the snap disc to another
location in the designated zone on the back of the
appliance
(Figure 16.2)
. There is a manual over-ride
switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary. See
page 39 for location of over-ride switch.
N. Opacity (Smoke)
This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is
when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column
from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke
column can be seen. As you become familiar with your
appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This
will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as
possible (goal of 0% opacity).
When burning your first fire, you will experience smoke
and odor from the appliance resulting from the curing
of paint and burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing.
OPEN WINDOWS DURING INITIAL BURN TO
DISSIPATE SMOKE AND ODORS!
