Appendix 4: Use and Installation of the Optional Blower and
Thermodisc
An optional blower may be installed on the back of the stove (DB03102, DB03111,
DB03112 and DB03113 models. Included on the DB03101 model) to increase the flow of
air past heat exchange surfaces and to help circulate warm air in the room. When used
regularly, the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2 percent. 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.
When using the blower, allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one
hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the blower cools the firebox and
could affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the blower is turned on too early. You can
also install an optional thermodisc kit to enable the blower to start or stop automatically
when the stove is hot or too cold. The thermodisc part number is AC05530 for a basic
model and ACO2055 for a quick connect model. Installation instructions are supplied with
the blower and the thermodisc.
