OPERATION 
• Theoptionalroomairconvectionblowerwasdesignedtoextractthemaximumamountofheat
fromthestove,forthehighestpossibleheattransferintotheroom. Sincetheblowerisso
efficientatremovingheatfromtheunit,itisveryimportanttoonlyoperatetheroomairblower
afterafreshwoodloadha
sbeenallowedtoburnforatleastthirty(30)minutes. Allowingafresh
loadofwoodtoburnwithoutthebloweronensuresthattheentireunitreachesprope r
operationtemperaturesandthatthesecondarycombustionsystemisfunctioningproperly.
Additionally,followtheguidelinesbelowforaccepta
bleblowerspeeds.

• Whenusingtheoptionalroomairconvectionblower(PartNo.AC‐16,oryoucanupgradetothe
AC‐30),theblowershouldbeoperatedasfollowsdependingonheatoutputlevel:

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal 
Whenwoodisburnedslowly,itproduces tarandotherorganic vapors, which

combinewithexpelledmoisturetoformcreosote. Thecreosote
vapors
condenseintherelativelycoolchimneyflueofaslow‐burningfire. Asa result,
creosoteresidueaccumulatesonthefluelining. Whenignited,this creosote
makesanextremelyhotfire. Thechimneyandchimneyconnectorshould be
inspectedatleastonceeverytwomonthsduringtheheatingseason to
determineifacreosotebuilduphasoccurred. Ifcreosotehasaccumulated, it
shouldberemovedtoreducetheriskofchimney fire.
