5.1 Blower Operation
It is possible, on wood stoves, to install a fan (depending
on your product, it could be included or sold separately).
See the Exploded View and Parts List in the
Wood Stove
Installation and Operation Manual for the original part
number.
The blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase
the airflow through the heat exchanger and improve hot air
circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can
provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%. 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.
Figure 1: Air flow with a blower
The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three
different positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed
(OFF).
Allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately
one hour) before turning on the blower, since increased
airflow from the blower will remove heat and affect the start
up combustion efficiency.
It is possible to add a heat sensor, sold separately, to
the blower. When the blower is ON, the blower will start
automatically when the stove is hot enough and it will stop
when the stove has cooled down. Therefore, you can leave
the blower speed control at the desired setting.

5.2 The Use of a Fire Screen
Some stoves have been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (In
the United States or in provinces with a particulate matter emission rate limit (e.g. US EPA),
the use of wood stoves with door open with a fire screen is prohibited)
, this option is sold
separately (to confirm that your product has been tested with it, please refer to the Wood Stove
Installation and Operation Manual). If applicable on your model, the fire screen must be properly
secured on the stove to avoid any risk of sparks damaging the flooring. When the fire screen is
in use, do not leave the stove unattended to respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage
into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in Section "The venting system"
of this guide. See "Optional Fire Screen Installation" in the
Wood Stove Installation and Operation
Manual for specifications about installation instructions.
OPERATING THE STOVE WITH A FIRE SCREEN INCREASES POSSIBILITIES OF
GENERATING CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE IS AN ODOURLESS GAS THAT
IS HIGHLY TOXIC WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH AT HIGH CONCENTRATION IN AIR.
Ensure the blower cord is not in contact
with any surface of the stove to prevent
electrical shock or fire damage. Do not run
cord beneath the stove.
