GS Operating Instructions
Important: The information in this manual contains safe operating instructions and
warranty information. Read this information carefully to learn how to operate and
maintain your Ecofan
®
GS properly and to avoid injury or product damage.
Proper Usage
The Ecofan
®
GS is designed for use on freestanding stoves with surface temperatures
between 150°F to 300°F (65°C to 150°C). Do not use the Ecofan
®
GS on a wood
stove with surface temperatures above 300°F (150°C) as this may damage the unit and
void the warranty.
Handling the Ecofan
®
GS Safely
The base of the Ecofan
®
GS will get hot when used. Hold the unit firmly by the handle
at all times as shown in Figure 1. Do not touch the base of the Ecofan
®
GS. Never
set the Ecofan
®
GS down on an unprotected surface as the hot base could potentially
damage that surface.
Children
Accidents can occur if children are not properly supervised around your stove or
Ecofan
®
GS. Children should be kept away from the stove and never allowed to handle
the Ecofan
®
GS. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Always use caution and supervise children around the stove.

Placement on the Stove Top
To get maximum performance from the Ecofan
®
GS it is important to place it correctly
on the stove top. There are two main factors to consider when positioning the
Ecofan
®
GS on a gas stove:
1. Finding the hottest part of the gas stove surface (up to 300º F/150ºC).
2. Ensuring that cool air can be drawn from behind the Ecofan
®
GS over the
top, cooling fins.
The easiest method to find the hottest part of the stove top when using the
Ecofan
®
GS for the first time, is to simply place it on various parts on the top and then
observe how fast the fan spins. It will turn the fastest on the hottest part. This is the
recommended method for stoves without a grate on the stove top. We have found the
following positions to work
best on most gas stoves that
include a grate on
the stove top:
Figure 2) For stoves that have
a full grate, position your
Ecofan
®
GS to the back corner
making sure that hot air is not
forced behind fan.
Figure 3) For stoves that have only a grate near the
front, position your Ecofan
®
GS at the back of the
grate, away from the chimney pipe.
Please Note:
Internal Blower: The Ecofan
®
GS efficiency may be affected by running your stove’s
internal blower system. The Ecofan
®
GS operates from the heat off the stove’s surface.
In some cases the internal blower will reduce the stove top temperature enough to
affect the Ecofan
®
GS performance. This may cause the Ecofan
®
GS to slow down
while the internal blower is on.
Important: If the Ecofan
®
GS is placed on a surface hotter than 300ºF (150ºC), the
built-in overheat protector will activate. This will cause the unit to slow down to
protect itself. If this happens, simply move the Ecofan
®
GS to a cooler spot on the
stove top and the overheat protector will reset automatically.
