BLOWER UNITS
Blowers circulate room air through and around the catalytic stove to provide additional heating capability to the home.
Refer to TABLE 5 and TABLE 6 to determine whether a blower is standard or optional on the unit purchased. The
blower is designed to pull cool room air into and through the hot stove and back out into the room to provide additional
heating value from the stove. Refer to blower specifications on a specific model for specific types and operation of each
blower. A stove’s firebox should reach proper operating temperature in order to minimize emissions and improve
operating efficiency; therefore, a room air blower system should not be operated for at least 30 minutes after starting a
fire. (This information is not applicable to catalytic stoves that do not include an optional blower system.)
8” PROBE THERMOMETER
A probe thermometer is provided with each catalytic stove. This probe thermometer is used to measure the temperature at
the catalytic combustor. Replacement probe thermometers are available from Country Flame or a local authorized dealer.
The probe thermometer is installed directly above the hood and slightly to the left of the air bypass damper on the top left
face of the stove. Refer to FIGURE 15 for the proper location of the probe on the face of the stove.
FIGURE 15: PROBE THERMOMETER
1 The probe thermometer is used to determine when to close the catalytic bypass rod.
2 The probe thermometer displays the temperature measured above the front combustion exhaust and over the
catalyst combustor inside the firebox.
3 NOTE: A PROBE THERMOMETER IS NOT AFFECTED WHEN A BLOWER (OPTIONAL ON SOME
MODELS) IS ENGAGED.
4 NOTE: THE BLOWER AFFECTS A MODEL R PROBE THERMOMETER.
5 Any blower that is operating on a specific model will NOT influence temperatures in the firebox or catalyst
regardless of the impact on the probe thermometer.
WOOD FUEL REQUIREMENTS
1 Country Flame’s catalytic stove models have been approved for use only with natural dry forest cut wood.
Burning unapproved materials will damage or destroy the catalytic combustor and invalidates the Country Flame
warranty.
2 Do not burn pressed logs or particleboard or any other construction material, as the bonding agents or kiln-dried
wood can damage the catalytic combustor.
