J. Opacity (Smoke)
This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burn-
ing. 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).
NOTE:
If your Quadra-Fire wood stove is equipped with an
optional blower, you should follow these guidelines:
1.
Initial (cold) start-up and all Burn Settings
The blower can be plugged in and turned on right away.
The blower fan is turned on and off by a snap disc.
When your stove has reached a certain temperature
the blower will turn on and when your stove has cooled
down to a certain temperature it will turn off.
NOTE:
The blower can still be left on at all burn rates
even if you have deactivated the snap disc with the
manual over-ride knob.
See
page 15.
2.
The blower is equipped with a speed control. Adjust
the fan speed by turning the speed control clockwise
to “Low” or counterclockwise to “High”.
3.
Snap Disc Location
If you fi nd 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 29.1.
There is a manual over-ride switch to
deactivate the snap disc, if necessary.
See page 15.

K. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUES
SOLUTIONS
Odor from appliance
When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours. This is
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Metallic noise
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or
longevity of the appliance.
Whirring sound
If the optional blower has been installed, the blower produces a whirring sound which
increases in volume as the speed is increased.
