Installation and Operation Manual - Escape 2100
ENGLISH
The following steps are optional :
• Install the fresh air intake (see «Appendix 1: Optional Fresh Air Intake Kit Installation»).
• Install the blower (see «Appendix 3: Optional Blower Installation»),
• Install the thermodisc (see «Appendix 4: Optional Thermodisc Installation»)
4.1 The Use of a Fire Screen
In the United States or in provinces with a particulate emission limit (eg. US EPA),
the use of wood stoves with the door open with a rigid firescreen is prohibited.
This stove 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 stove to avoid any risk of sparks
damaging the flooring. When the fire screen is in use, do not leave the stove unattended to
respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke
spillage are described in Section «9. The Venting System» of this manual. See «Appendix 2:
Optional Fire Screen Installation» for installation instructions.
Operating the stove 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.
4.2 Blower Operation
A blower can be installed on this stove. It is optional and is sold separately. See «Appendix 9:
Exploded Diagram and Parts List» for genuine part number. The blower must be installed on the
back of the stove. See «Appendix 3: Optional Blower Installation». The blower is used to increase
the 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 a stove that
is undersized for the space it is intended to heat.
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 stove 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.
It is also possible to install a heat sensor, sold separately. The heat
sensor must also be installed at the back of the stove. See «Appendix 4: Optional Thermodisc
Installation». When the blower is on (position between HI and LO), the heat sensor will make
the blower start automatically when the stove is hot enough and will stop it when the stove has
cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed control can be left at the desired setting.
Ensure the blower cord is not in contact with
any surface of the stove to prevent electrical
shock or fire damage. Do not run cord
underneath the stove.
