I. Blower Operating Instructions
NOTE:
If your Quadra-Fire wood stove is equipped with an
optional blower, you should follow these guidelines:
1.
Initial (cold) startup:
Open both controls fully by rais-
ing the Burn Rate Air Control all the way up until it stops
and slide the Start-up Air Control back until it stops.
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:
Both controls are open. Burn Rate
Air Control is pulled up and the Start-up Air Control is fully
pushed in. Blower may remain on.
3.
Medium or Medium High Burn Setting*:
Burn Rate
Air Control is closed then opened to 1 inch to fully open.
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. Leave the
blower off until the burn is well established, i.e., 30 min-
utes.
5.
Low Burn Setting*:
Burn Rate Air Control is closed.
Leave the blower off until the burn is well established, i.e.,
30 minutes.
*NOTE:
For burn settings 3 to 5 the Start-up Air Control
needs to be pushed in (Open) then pulled back to acti-
vate the Automatic Combustion Control (ACC).
NOTE:
For maximum ef
fi
ciency 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
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
7.
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 13.2.
There is a manual over-ride switch to
deactivate the snap disc, if necessary.
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).

When burning your
fi

fi
re, 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.
