FAQs

How does the heat-powered stove fan work?

The fan uses a thermoelectric module. When the base of the fan heats up from the stove, it generates electricity, which powers the motor to spin the fan blades and circulate air.

What is the minimum temperature required for the fan to start?

The fan requires a minimum surface temperature of 70°C (158°F) on the stovetop to begin operating.

What is the maximum safe operating temperature?

The fan should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 345°C (653°F). If the stove reaches this temperature, the fan must be removed to prevent damage.

Can children operate the fan?

Children aged 8 and above can use the appliance under supervision, provided they understand the associated hazards. However, direct adult supervision is strongly recommended, and children should not be allowed to touch or play with the fan, especially when it is hot.

Where is the best place to position the fan on the stove?

Place the fan on the flat top surface of your stove, away from the direct heat of the flue pipe. This ensures optimal operation and prevents overheating of the fan's motor.

What material is the fan made of?

The fan is constructed from sturdy, anodized aluminum.

Does the fan require batteries or electricity?

No, the fan is completely heat-powered and does not require batteries or any external electrical connection.

Troubleshooting

Fan not spinning

Ensure the stove surface temperature has reached at least 70°C. Check that the fan is placed on a level surface and is not obstructed. Verify that the fan is not positioned too close to the flue pipe, which might cause overheating of the motor.

Fan spinning slowly

The stove temperature may not be optimal. Allow the stove more time to heat up. Ensure there are no obstructions to the blades and that the fan is positioned where it receives direct heat.

Unusual noise

Check for any debris around the fan blades. Ensure the fan is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent vibration.

Fan stops working during operation

The stove temperature may have exceeded the safe operating limit (345°C). Remove the fan from the stove immediately to allow it to cool down. Once cooled, reposition it slightly further from the flue pipe or on a cooler part of the stove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the stove surface is level and stable.
  2. Place the fan on the flat top surface of your freestanding stove, away from the direct heat of the flue pipe.
  3. The fan will begin to operate automatically as the stove heats up and reaches approximately 70°C.

Compatibility:

  • This fan is designed for use with freestanding stoves or log burners that generate sufficient surface heat.
  • It operates using the heat from the stove; no external power source is required.

Care:

  • Cooling Down: Allow the fan to cool completely before handling or moving it. The surfaces can become very hot.
  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Safety Precautions: Keep children away from the hot fan and rotating blades. Wear gloves when handling the fan immediately after use or when moving it while hot. Never place the fan too close to the fire.
