Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 minutes after lighting the stove and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the stove has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat.

Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings causing irreparable damage and must be prevented from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.

Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
