BLOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If your wood stove is equipped with an optional blower, you should follow these guidelines:

1.Initial (cold) start-up: Leave blower off until your stove is hot and a good coalbed is established. The blower may be turned on approximately 30 minutes after loading the stove with fuel.

2.High burn setting: The blower may be left on throughout the burn.

3.Medium burn setting: The blower should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on at a medium or high rate.

4.Low burn setting: The blower tends to cool off the stove. If you are using wet wood or a very low burn setting, leave blower off until the burn is well established. Then, if you wish, turn the blower on at a lower rate. Too high a blower setting with a low burn rate may adversely affect emissions.

5.The blower is equipped with a speed control. The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the speed control on and then adjusting back towards off as far as possible without turning the blower off. For a low blower speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far as possible.
