The fan is designed to operate between 120 degrees Fahrenheit, to a maximum temperature of 640 degrees Fahrenheit (340 Celsius). If the temperature of the surface of the stove should exceed this value, the fan will shut off automatically, so as to avoid damage. The Valiant FIR350 Remora Magnetic Flue Pipe Heat Powered Stove Fan which attaches to the flue pipe also needs to have access to cool air. Don’t place this at the bottom of the pipe near the stovetop, but move it a little way up the pipe. You may need to experiment with the distance as the fan still needs to be near the hot spots of the pipe. How do stove fan work? The motor is mounted in the center of the fan’s body so the long blades don’t protrude over the stove fan’s top. Where it really helps though is that because the fan is not that tall, around 12.5cm, you only need 13cm clearance above the stove to use this fan. This compact model is perfect for those who have limited space above the stove, a significant advantage as many three and four-blade models are taller. This is really why I recommend this model in my review.
