FAQs
How does a heat-powered stove fan work?
The fan has an integrated thermoelectric module. When the stove heats up, this module converts the temperature difference into electrical energy, which powers the fan motor to spin the blades.
Do I need electricity or batteries for this fan?
No, this fan is entirely self-powered by the heat from your log or wood burner. No electricity or batteries are required.
Where is the best place to position the fan on my stove?
Place the fan on top of the stove, on a flat and stable surface, preferably towards the rear where the heat is typically highest. Ensure it is kept away from the flue pipe.
What is the minimum temperature required for the fan to operate?
The fan typically starts to operate when the stove surface reaches around 50-60°C (122-140°F), but works best at higher temperatures.
How much air can this fan circulate?
The fan can circulate up to 5 cubic meters per minute (m³/m) of air.
Can I use this fan on an electric heater?
No, this fan is designed specifically for heat-generating log or wood burners and requires radiant heat from a solid fuel source to operate.
How do I clean the fan?
Allow the fan to cool down completely. Wipe the blades and casing with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the fan in water.
Troubleshooting
Fan not spinning
Ensure the stove surface is sufficiently hot. The fan requires a minimum operating temperature. Reposition the fan to a hotter part of the stove top, away from the flue. Check that the fan blades are not obstructed.
Fan spinning slowly
The stove may not be at its optimal operating temperature. Allow the stove to heat up more. Ensure the fan is clean and free from dust build-up on the blades.
Unusual noise during operation
Check if the fan blades are hitting anything or if there is any debris caught in the mechanism. Ensure the fan is sitting on a stable, flat surface and is not wobbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the fan on a flat, stable surface on top of your log or wood burner. Ensure the fan is positioned away from the flue pipe and any direct heat shields. For optimal performance, place it towards the rear of the stove top where the temperature is highest.
Compatibility: This fan is compatible with any standard log or wood burner that generates sufficient surface heat. It is not suitable for electric fires or other heat sources that do not produce a radiant heat from their surface.
Care: Keep the fan clean and free of dust and debris. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the blades and casing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or immersing the fan in water. Ensure the fan is completely cool before cleaning. Check for any obstructions on the fan blades periodically.
