Customer Q&A with Product Specialists
Russ
from asked:
How does the blower circulate through the stove and into the room?
The blower pulls in cool air from the room at the bottom, front of the insert. Then the fan passes that air through a heat exchanger channel in the bottom and rear of the appliance. This channel is between the firebox and outer chassis of the unit. The air blows back out across the top of the insert through a slot between the surround and top of the insert.

from 03301 asked:
Is there a larger faceplate?
The only faceplate available for the 1500-I is the one that comes standard with the unit. You would have to have an additional trim custom-made locally to cover any additional gap.

Is this rotary blower on the Drolet 1500 a variable speed or set for on/off only?
The included blower is indeed a variable speed fan.
