Contour Pellet Stove
6. BLOWERS
a. There are two blowers in this stove: an exhaust blower
that vacates the exhaust out of the rebox, and a
convection blower that delivers heat into the room.
THESE BLOWERS REQUIRE NO LUBRICATION.
b. The exhaust blower is located on the right side
of the stove. To inspect it, open the right side
access panel.
NOTE: The impeller on the motor can be cleaned
and inspected when performing heat exchanger
maintenance and cleaning.
c. The convection blower on the oor at the back of
the stove has two impellers, one on each side of
the motor. They should be cleaned at least once
each year. Brush and vacuum the impellers from
both sides.
7. READING THE FIRE AND ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURES
A properly adjusted re with the heat output control set
on high has a short active ame pattern that extends out
of the repot approximately 4 inches (102mm). If the
re has tall ames with black tails and seems somewhat
lazy, the feed rate will need to be reduced. This is done
by sliding the feed adjustment plate down, which will
reduce the feed. If the re is not 4 inches (102mm), slide
feed plate up to increase the feed. Allow ve minutes
for feed adjustment to take effect.
8. SOOT AND FLY ASH - FORMATION AND
NEED FOR REMOVAL
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during start-up, shutdown,
or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to
some soot formation, which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should
be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
