This blower has three settings: ON, OFF, and
AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will oper-
ate constantly. In the OFF position, the blower
will not operate. In the AUTO position, the
blower will start when the thermostat senses a
sufficient increase in firebox temperature.

the pilot position, the blower will continue to
run. The blower will shut off after the firebox
temperature decreases.
