I. 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.
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 12.1
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).
WARNING
