Explorer III Wood Stove
J. Blower Operating Instructions
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”
(Figure 15.2)
.
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 15.1).
There is a manual over-ride
switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary.

K. 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!
• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
•
Smoke detectors may activate.
CAUTION

OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR

• Keep all such liquids well away from the
appliance while it is in use.
• Combustible materials may ignite.
