Installation and Operation Manual - Columbia II
ENGLISH
4. Operating the Stove
The installation of the following items is optional and should be completed before using the
stove :
• Install the blower (see «Appendix 3: Optional Blower Installation»)
• Install the thermodisc (see «Appendix 4: Optional Thermodisc Installation»)
• Install the fresh air intake (see «Appendix 1: Optional Fresh Air Intake Kit Installation»)
4.1 The Use of a Fire Screen
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
It is possible to install a blower on this stove. The blower is
optional and is sold separately. See «Appendix 8: Exploded
Diagram and Parts List» for genuine part number.
The blower is installed on the back of the stove 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.
Airflow with a blower
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that
must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or
otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating
instructions in this manual.
Ensure the blower power cord is not in
contact with any surface of the stove to
prevent electrical shock or fire damage.
Do not run the power cord underneath the
stove.
