F. Blower Operating Instructions
G. 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).

NOTE:
If your Quadra-Fire wood appliance 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
appliance has reached a certain temperature the blower
will turn on and when your appliance has cooled down
to a certain temperature it will turn off. Switch on blower
control must be set to auto for this feature to work.
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 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 13.1).
There is a manual
over-ride switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary
(Figure 13.2)

salt (driftwood).
• May generate carbon monoxide if burn
material other than wood.
May result in illness or possible death.
WARNING
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!
• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
CAUTION
WARNING
