H. Blower Operating Instructions
I. Opacity (Smoke)
This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is
when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column
from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke
column can be seen. As you become familiar with your
appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This
will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as
possible (goal of 0% opacity).

NOTE:
If your Quadra-Fire wood appliance is equipped
with an optional blower, you should follow these
guidelines:
1. Initial (cold) start-up and all Burn Settings
The blower can be plugged in and turned on right
away. The blower fan is turned on and off by a snap
disc. When your appliance has reached a certain
temperature the blower will turn on and when your
appliance has cooled down to a certain temperature
it will turn off. Switch on blower control must be set to
auto for this feature to work.
2. The blower is equipped with a speed control. Adjust
the fan speed by turning the speed control clockwise to
“Low” or counterclockwise to “High”.
3. Snap Disc Location
If you find the blower coming on and off at undesirable
temperatures, relocate the snap disc to another
location in the designated zone on the back of the
appliance (
Figure 14.1).
There is a manual over-
ride switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary
(Figure 14.2)

LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS
TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN
THIS APPLIANCE.
• Keep all such liquids well away from the
appliance while it is in use.
• Combustible materials may ignite.
WARNING
When burning your first fire, you will experience
smoke and odor from the appliance resulting from the
curing of paint and burning off of any oils remaining
from manufacturing.
OPEN WINDOWS DURING INITIAL BURN TO
DISSIPATE SMOKE AND ODORS!
• Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
• Smoke detectors may activate.
CAUTION
