Appendix 4: Use of Blower and Optional Thermodiscs
A blower is installed on the back of the
stove to increase the flow of air past
heat exchange surfaces and to help
circulate warm air in the room. When
used regularly, the blower can provide a
small increase in efficiency, up to 2
percent. However, the use of a blower
should not be used as a way to gain
more output from a stove that is
undersized for the space it is intended
to heat.
The blower has a rheostat, see the
illustration on the right to identify the
different adjustment positions; either
from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed
(OFF).
When using the blower, allow the stove
to
reach
operating
temperature
(approximately
one
hour),
before
turning it on. The increased airflow from
the blower cools the firebox and could
affect the start-up combustion efficiency
if the blower is turned on too early. You
can also install a thermodisc to enable
the blower to start or stop automatically
when the stove is hot or too cold. The
thermodisc part number is AC05530 for
a basic model and ACO2055 for a quick
connect model. Installation instructions
are supplied with the blower and the
thermodisc.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT
WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE STOVE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER CORD BENEATH THE STOVE.
