My fan on the Jotul 550C (as well as my fan on a previous insert) had the following property: Turn clockwise to engage the fan. Turn further clockwise (to the right) to reduce the fan input. Turn counterclockwise (to the left) to increase blower speed. This procedure seems counterintuitive.
Other electric controls (such as dimmer switches) start on turning to right (clockwise). However, further turns in a clockwise direction (i.e., to the right) raise the light. and then to the left (counterclockwise) reduce the light. Similar rules apply to power drills. Why are fans different from other appliances?
