J. Optional Blower Operating Instructions

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 a good coalbed is established.

2.High burn setting: The blower may be left on through- out the burn at your desired setting.

3.Medium burn settings: The blower should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on at your desired setting.

4.Low burn setting: The blower tends to cool off the stove. Leave blower off until burn is well established. Then turn on at your desired rate.

5.The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the speed control on and then adjusting counterclockwise 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.

K. Opacity (Smoke)

Opacity 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 peri- odically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).
