Installation and Operation Manual - Inspire 2000
The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three different
positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or closed (OFF).
Allow the wood fire to reach operating temperature
(approximately one hour) before turning on the blower, since
increased airflow from the blower will remove heat and affect
the start up combustion efficiency.
The blower can also be equipped with a heat sensor, sold
seperatly. When the blower is ON, it will start automatically
when the wood fire is hot enough and it will stop when the
wood fire has cooled down. Therefore, the blower speed
control can be left at the desired setting.

4.3 Wood Storage in the Pedestal
This wood fire has been certified to store logs
in the pedestal provided that the following
requirements are met:
• The logs must not exceed the inside edge (A)
of the pedestal.
• The heat shield baffle (B) under the firebox
must never be removed.
• No combustible material can be placed above
the heat shield baffle (B).

5. Burning Wood Efficiently
5.1 First Use
Two things will happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal
components of the wood fire are conditioned.
As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do
smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also cause false alarms in smoke detectors.
So, when lighting the wood fire, be prepared by opening doors or windows to ventilate the
house. Burn one or two small fires to begin the curing and conditioning process. Then build
bigger and hotter fires until there is no longer paint smell from the wood fire.
