Placement on the Stove Top
To get maximum performance from the Ecofa
n
BelAir it is important to place it
correctly on the stove top. There are two main factors to consider when positioning the
Ecofan
BelAir on a stove:
1. Finding the hottest part of the stove surface up to 392º F/200ºC.
2. Ensuring that cool air can be drawn from behind the Ecofan
BelAir over
the top, cooling fins.
The easiest method to find the hottest part of the stove top when using the
Ecofan
BelAir for the first time, is to simply place it on various parts on the top and
then observe how fast the fan spins. It will turn the fastest on the hottest part. This is the
recommended method for stoves without a grate on the stove top. We have found the
following positions to work best on most stoves that include a grate on the stove top:
Figure 2)
For stoves that have
a full grate, position your
Ecofan
BelAir to the back corner
making sure that hot air is not
forced behind fan.
Figure 3)
For stoves that have
only a grate near the front,
position your Ecofan
BelAir at the back of the
grate, away from the chimney pipe.
Please Note:
Internal Blower:
The Ecofan
BelAir efficiency may be affected by running your
stove’s internal blower system. The Ecofan
BelAir operates from the heat off the
stove’s surface. In some cases the internal blower will reduce the stove top temperature
enough to affect the Ecofan
BelAir performance. This may cause the Ecofan
BelAir to
slow down while the internal blower is on.
