I just took delivery of a Harman XXV for my office/lab. My satisfaction with the fit and finish
and the overall aesthetics of my new stove is very high. The vent and outside
air intake will be installed next week when I get the time to get into the rafters/roof.
My question has to do with a "High-Low" switch located on the vertical wall opposite the
main control panel. What does this switch do?
 
In high it gives full voltage to the distribution blower.
In low it cuts voltage allowing the blower to run slower Thus quieter.
 
I guess it also means that if the distribution blower runs slower,
less heat will be transferred to the room. What additional
advantages/disadvantages, other than sound level and heat
distribution, will occur?
