WARNING
6.1 BLOWER
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to pre-
vent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this
condition is not covered by the warranty policy. Use of the blower increases the output of heat.
The 1402 inserts comes equipped with two blowers, while the 1101 has one blower. These blowers are ther-
mally activated. Depending on the intensity of the re, the blowers will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The
heat sensor for the 1402 is located on the right hand side of the unit and the 1101 has a heat sensor located
at the back on the blower access door. When rst starting the re, the sensor may be impeded by a large log
or an unevenly burning re, causing the blowers to cycle on and off. To control this, either build your re up
evenly or turn down the blowers until the right side of the rebox is hot.
You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very ef ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the rebox
and secondary ames ickering just below the top rebrick. You can safely ll the rebox with wood to the top
of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250°F (120°C ) and
450°F (270°C ). A surface thermometer placed on the front top will help regulate this.
Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.
Can’t get the re going?
Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is suf cient com-
bustion air, the lack of suf ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good gauge
for small kindling diameter.
Can’t get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the appli-
ance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish a brisk
re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture being
driven from the wood.
