Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 min-
utes after lighting the stove and will run for approximately
30-45 minutes after the stove has been turned off. Use
of the fan increases the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings caus-
ing irreparable damage and must be prevented from
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.
Any damage resulting from this condition is not cov-
ered by the warranty policy.
