Installation and Operation Manual - Gateway 3500
ENGLISH
4.1 Blower Operation
A blower can be installed on this stove. It is optional and is sold separately. See
Exploded Diagram and Parts List»
for genuine part number. The blower must be installed on the
back of the stove. See
«Appendix 8: Optional Blower Installation»
for instructions. The blower is
used 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.
The blower has a variable speed control 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 also possible to install a heat sensor that works with the blower. The thermodisc is optional
and is sold separately. The heat sensor must also be installed at the back of the stove. See
«Appendix 9: Optional Thermodisc Installation»
. When the blower is on (position between HI and
LO), the heat sensor will make the blower start automatically when the stove is hot enough and
will make it stop when the stove has cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed control can be
left at the desired setting.
4.2 The Use of a Fire Screen
This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen, sold
separately. 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
Optional Fire Screen Installation»
for 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. Installation of a carbon monoxide detector is highly recommended.
5. Burning Wood Efficiently
5.1 First Use
Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are
conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous,
but they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors.
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
underneath the stove.
