APPENDIX 3: INSTALLATION AND USE OF BLOWER AND THERMODISC

A blower is installed on the back of the wood fire 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 wood fire that is undersized
for the space it is intended to heat.
When using the blower, allow the wood fire 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.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER'S
POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH
ANY SURFACE OF THE WOOD FIRE TO
PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER CORD
BENEATH THE WOOD FIRE.
