APPENDIX 5: INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE BLOWER AND
THERMODISC
Your Osburn stove comes with a blower assembly and a thermodisc kit. The blower assembly is
secured to the back of the stove using 4 screws (screws #10 x ½’’ type ‘’a’’ pan quadrex black. The
blower increases the flow of air past heat exchange surfaces and 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.
You can also install the quick connect thermodisc kit, included with your stove, to enable the
blower to start or stop automatically when the stove is hot or too cold.
Characteristics of the thermodisc:
•
Starts the blower when the stove’s temperature reaches 43 °C (110 °F)
•
Cuts the electrical contact when the temperature falls to 32 °C (90 °F).
Installation

1.
Insert the eyelet of the ground wire (A) in one of the provided screws.
