4. Stove Operation
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It
is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
Before using the stove, the following steps should be completed :
• Install the leg kit (see
Installation»
).
• Install the overlay (see
The following steps are optional
• Install the step top add on (see
• Install the blower and the thermodisc (See
• Install the fresh air intake (see
4.1
Using a Blower
Figure 13: Airflow with a blower
The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three
different positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or
closed (OFF).
Allow the stove to reach operating temperature
(approximately one hour) before turning on the blower,
since increased airflow from the blower will remove
heat and affect the start up combustion efficiency.
The blower can also be equipped with a heat sensor,
sold separately. When the blower is ON, it will start
automatically when the stove is hot enough and it will
stop when the stove has cooled down. Therefore, the
blower speed control can be left at the desired setting.

It is possible to install a blower on this stove. The blower
is optional and is sold separately. See
Exploded Diagram and Parts List»
The blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase
airflow through the heat exchanger and improve hot air
circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can
provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%. However,
the use of a blower should not be used as a way to gain
more output from a stove that is undersized for the space
it is intended to heat.
Installation»).
Ensure the blower cord is not in contact
with any surface of the stove to prevent
electrical shock or fire damage. Do not run
cord beneath the stove.
