Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Fan: Ensure your stove fan is completely cool. Carefully remove the fan from the stove surface.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the replacement motor is installed, the stove fan will operate as designed by its original manufacturer. The motor is heat-activated and requires no external power source.

• Placement: Place the stove fan on a flat, level surface on top of your wood stove, near the side or back. Ensure it is not directly in front of the stove pipe, as excessive heat can damage the fan.
• Temperature Range: The fan will begin to operate as the stove surface heats up, typically between 80°C (176°F) and 345°C (653°F). Operation outside this range may reduce efficiency or cause damage.
• Automatic Operation: The fan will automatically start spinning as the stove heats up and slow down/stop as it cools.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your stove fan with the new motor.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the fan is cool before cleaning.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the fan blades for any signs of damage or bending. Ensure the motor is securely mounted and the fan blade set screw remains tight.
• Storage: If storing the fan for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry, and store it in a cool, dry place.
