Operating The Insert; Blower - Osburn CW2100 Owner's Manual

The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the fuel quality and success in properly
using the insert. These stains can be cleaned with a special wood insert glass cleaner. Do not use
abrasive products to clean the glass.
The goal should be having a clear glass with no brown stains. If brown stains appear regularly
on the glass, something about the fuel or the operating procedure needs to be changed. When
brown streaks are coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket around the
glass. Follow the instructions in section « 3.1.3 Gasket » in the Wood Insert Installation and
Operation Manual. Always replace the gasket with a genuine one.
Do not clean the glass when the insert is hot.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut.
Do not use the insert if the glass is broken.

Blower

Figure 2 : Blower location
Page 18
A blower is already installed on this insert. It is located
underneath the ash lip, in front of the insert. Its function
is 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, it should not be used as a
way to gain more output from an insert that is undersized
for the space it is intended to heat.
Ensure the blower cord is not in contact
with any surface of the insert to prevent
electrical shock or fire damage. Do not
run cord beneath the insert.
