4.1
Blower operation
A blower is already installed on this insert. It is located at the
bottom 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, the use of a blower 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.
4.2
Fire Screen
In the United States or in provinces with a particulate emissions limit (e.g.: US EPA), the use
of open-door wood fireplace with a rigid fire screen is prohibited.
This insert 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 insert to avoid any risk of sparks
damaging the flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the insert 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 insert 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.
5. Burning Wood Efficiently
5.1
First Use
Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are
conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but
they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors. When lighting
the heater for the first few times, it may be wise to open doors and windows to ventilate the house.
Installation and Operation Manual - Destination 2.7 Insert
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.
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 insert 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.The blower is equipped with
a heat sensor. Therefore, the switch can be left in the automatic
position (1). The blower will start automatically when the insert
is hot enough and it will stop when the insert has cooled down.
The switch can also be set to the manual position (3) to turn on
the blower manually and have it run continuously. The position
(2) stops the blower and prevent it from starting automatically
when the insert is hot enough.
