BLOWER
OPERATION
WARNING: This fireplace has
a three-prong, grounded electri-
cal plug. This plug helps protect
you against electrical shock.
Only connect plug to a properly
grounded, three-prong recep-
tacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
Locate the blower switch by opening lower lou-
ver on fireplace. Blower switch is located at
lower left inside louver door.
This thermostat-controlled blower has a vari-
able speed control with an ON/OFF switch. The
blower will start when the thermostat senses a
sufficient increase in firebox temperature.
Note:
It is safe to operate fireplace with blower
turned off. However, the blower helps distrib-
ute heated air from the fireplace.
Note:
Periodically check the louvers of the
firebox and remove any dust, dirt, or other ob-
structions.

tings, or pilot, in order to maintain the comfort
level you select. The ideal comfort setting will
vary by household depending upon the amount
of space to be heated, the output of the central
heating system, etc.
