Appendix 4: Installation and Use of the Optional Blower

(AC02050) and Thermodiscs (AC05530, AC02055)

An optional blower can be installed on the back of the stove to increase the flow of air past

heat exchange surfaces and to help circulate warm air in the room. When used regularly,

the blower can provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2 percent. 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. You can purchase this option through your DROLET

dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: # AC02050.

The blower has a rheostat, see the

illustration on the right to identify the

different adjustment positions; either from

high (HI) to low (LO) or turned off (OFF).

When using the optional blower, allow the

stove to reach operating temperature

(approximately one hour), before turning

it on. The increased airflow from the

blower cools the firebox and could affect

the start-up combustion efficiency if the

blower is turned on too early. You can

also install a thermodisc to enable the

blower to start or stop automatically when

the stove is hot or too cold. The

thermodisc part number is AC05530 for a

basic model and ACO2055 for a quick

connect model. Installation instructions

are supplied with the blower and the

thermodisc.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S 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 BENEATH THE STOVE.
