Baltic II Installation and Operation Manual
Appendix 4: Installation and Use of the Optional Blower and
Thermodisc
An optional blower can be 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 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. You can purchase this option through your DROLET
dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: # AC02050
The blower has a rheostat, see the
illustration on the right to identify the
different adjustment positions; either from
high (HI) to low (LO) or turned off (OFF).
When using the optional 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 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.
CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER'S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT
WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE STOVE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER CORD BENEATH THE STOVE.
