Appendix 3: Installation and Use of Air Circulation Fan, and
Optional Thermodisc
A fan is installed on the back of the stove to increase the flow of air past heat exchange
surfaces and to help circulate warm air in the room. When used regularly, the fan can
provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2 percent. However, the use of a fan 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 fan, allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one
hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the fan cools the firebox and could
affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the fan is turned on too early. You can also
install a thermodisc 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.
