OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
FAN OPERATION
If you have the Optional Fan Assembly installed, the fan should be off until the stove reaches normal operating
temperatures. Aft er approximately 30 minutes, the fan speed adjustment should match the thermostat control
setting, i.e. if your stove is set at medium then your fan should also be set at medium, low—low, high—high
etc…
ICE - FORMATION AND PREVENTION
Most of what you see coming from the chimney of a properly operating catalytic stove is water vapor. In
extremely cold weather - and with some exterior chimneys - this vapor may freeze in the chimney, to the point of
actually blocking the chimney and extinguishing the fi re. In such weather, occasionally burn the stove for 4 or 5
minutes with the bypass open and the thermostat set at maximum to melt any possible ice buildup.
DO NOT BURN THE STOVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.
