4.1

The Use of a Fire Screen

In the United States or in provinces with a particulate emission limit (eg. US EPA),
the use of woodstoves with the door open with a rigid firescreen is prohibited.
This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen, sold
separately. The fire screen must be properly secured on the stove to avoid any risk of sparks
damaging the flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the stove unattended to
respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke
spillage are described in Section
Optional Fire Screen Installation»
Operating the stove with a fire screen increases possibilities of generating carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is an odourless gas that is highly toxic which can cause death at high concentration in
air. Installation of a carbon monoxide detector is highly recommended.

A blower can be installed on this stove. It is optional and is sold separately. See

back of the stove. See
the 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.
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
underneath the stove.
The blower has a variable speed control 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.
It is also possible to install a heat sensor, sold separately. The heat sensor must also be installed
at the back of the stove. See
is on (position between HI and LO), the heat sensor will make the blower start automatically
