rather than simply rising to the ceiling or being trapped
around the stove. This improves the effectiveness of the
stove, maximising heat distribution around the room and
thereby ensuring fuel eciency.
The fan uses intelligent design and will start to build up
speed at approximately 45°C; slowing and stopping when
the re burns down and stove temperature cools.
SAFETY
• Stoves and res can get HOT; your Valiant Ventum II
heat powered stove fan will get hot.
• The fan will draw attention so please ensure that any
vulnerable people or animals are kept away from the
stove and fan.
• If moving the fan, the base may be very hot, so please
wear heat-proof gloves.
• Do not place the fan on a delicate surface.
• The fan blades, whilst not dangerous, may cause
discomfort or harm if ngers are inserted into moving
rotating blades.
• Do not cause obstruction to the fan blades.
OPERATION
• Carefully remove the product from its packaging and,
before placing your fan on the stove, check the blades
freely rotate.
• Retain the product packaging for reference and the
safe storage of the fan when not in use.
• Place your Valiant Ventum II heat powered stove fan
as close to the rear of the stove and to the side of ue
pipe as possible. This will allow the fan to draw cooler
air through its blades and across the stove, collecting
heat and warmed air before gently propelling into the
room.
• It is vital to ensure reliability and effective operation
that the top section of the fan remains cooler than
the base. Never lay the product at on its back. Never
place the fan directly in front of the ue pipe.
• Some stoves are too small or do not permit positioning
of a fan at the side – in these cases place the fan
to the right or left of the ue pipe but never in front.
Placing the fan in front of the ue pipe will cause the
top of the fan to run too hot, which will slow the fan
speed and cause premature failure to the motor and
generator.
• The fan will start automatically when the surface
temperature under the fan reaches around 45°C
(113°F).
• The speed of the fan increases as the temperature
rises to a maximum of around 230°C (450°F).
• There is a bi-metallic safety device in the base of the
fan. If the surface temperature rises above around
250°C the safety device gently elevates the front of the
fan to protect the Peltier and motor. The fan will lower
to normal as the surface temperature reduces.
• The fan will operate with any stove where the surface
temperature ranges up to 320°C (600°F). Temperatures
exceeding this range may cause damage to the
components of any stove fan; if in doubt please check
