Optima Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix 3: Use of the Blower and Optional Thermodisc

Your Optima comes with a blower 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, 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.

When using the blower, allow the

stove to reach operating temperature

(approximately one hour), before

turning it on. The increased airflow

from the fan cools the firebox and

could affect the start-up combustion

efficiency if the fan is turned on too

early. You can also install an optional

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

thermodisc kit.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE FAN’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.
