H. Blower Operating Instructions

NOTE: If your Quadra-Fire wood stove 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 stove has reached a certain temperature the blower will turn on and when your stove has cooled down to a certain temperature it will turn off.

NOTE: The blower can still be left on at all burn rates even if you have deactivated the snap disc with the manual over-ride knob. See page 15.

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 29.1 There is a manual over-ride switch to deactivate the snap disc, if necessary. See page 15.

Figure 29.1

CAUTION

Odors and vapors released during initial operation.

•Curing of high temperature paint.

•Open windows for air circulation.

Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

I. Opacity (Smoke)

This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is burn- ing. 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).

J. Overfiring

Do not overfire. Using flammable liquids or too much wood, burning trash in the appliance, or allowing too much air into the fire may result in overfiring. If the chimney connector (stove pipe) or appliance glows red or even worse, white, it is overfired. This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney, which can be dangerous, possibly causing a house fire. If you overfire, immediately close the air controls and door, if open, to reduce the air supply to the fire. Overfiring will void the stove warranty.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

•Do NOT burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil.

•Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).

•May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other than wood.

May result in illness or possible death.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

•Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

•Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater.

•Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

•Combustible materials may ignite.
