The fan does not fit Contura 580.
Unpack and check the contents. Follow the procedures in the instructions for the
stove and install the top and sides of the stove. Also remove the knockout in the
stove’s back panel before starting the fan installation. Remove the heat deflector
that is installed under the heart, it is not required when the fan is installed.
For the air supply connection from the outside, a distance of 75 mm is required
between the condensation insulation and the heart. This is to make space for the
fan. Ensure that the hose clamp is turned forwards.
Parts supplied

Read through the entire installation instruction before installing the fan. The fan is
installed under the heart and the installation is usually concealed by a plinth. The plinth is
a separate accessory. The fan increases the heating from the stove and makes the air in
the room circulate which gives better heat distribution and a more even temperature.
Preparations

Be careful with the pipe, it is fragile.
Insert the fan in the rectangular opening in the foot plate. The rear edge of the fan must be supported against the opening in the foot plate
and the front edge is secured in the vibration dampers. Screw into place using M6x8 screws. Check that the rubber strip on the fan is against
the edge of the opening in the foot plate otherwise noise will occur.

perature sensor in the hole using
the M6x20 screw supplied.
Loosen the screws holding the back
plate approximately 3 turns. Install
the flow guide as illustrated and
tighten the screws.

Installing the control box
The plug and control box are threaded out through the knockout in the back of the stove. Install the control box on the wall at a suitable
height. Connect the plug only when the fan is fully installed.
Operating
Connect the plug to the mains. The fan control box has eight positions.
Position (0) = The fan is completely switched off.
Position (1-4 Auto) = Four different speeds for the fan to start and stop automatically when the stove becomes hot or cold.
Position (1-3 Man) = The fan is controlled manually with three speeds.
Automatic control
The fan uses a control module to start and stop the fan automatically. It functions as follows:
The fan starts when it is approximately time for the first addition of firewood, this occurs approximately 25 minutes after the fire is lit (read
lighting instructions). When the fire is dying the fan stops approximately 2 hours after the fire has turned to embers. The fan uses the heat
that the stove produces and circulates it around the room efficiently. This means that the fan may restart a couple of times before it stops
completely. If the stove is already warm and the switch is turned to “auto” the fan needs a few minutes to sense the heat of the stove before
it starts. The times can vary depending on the amount and type of wood. For example, dry wood starts more quickly and a large bed of embers
takes longer to cool.
In the event of running problems the control module can be reset to correct the problem. This is done by pulling the plug out and recon-
necting it after approximately 15 minutes.
