Blower Operation
Access the blower control panel by lifting the cast iron
lower grille up off the insert.
The dual blowers will enhance heat circulation around
the firebox and out into the room. In the
Automatic
setting, the blowers are controlled by a heat activated
switch (snapstat) that will only function when the speed
control is ON. After the fire has been burning for a time,
the snapstat will react to the heat and activate the
blowers. Conversely, the blower will continue to operate
until the snapstat cools as the fire wanes. The blowers will
then shut off automatically.
The
Manual
setting overrides the snapstat
functionality allowing blower operation regardless of
temperatures.
For best performance, do not turn the switch on until
after the fire is well-established.
If the blower is not needed, place the blower control
switch in the OFF position.

THIS BLOWER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL
CODES OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL
CODES, WITH THE CURRENT ANSI/NFPA
70, NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE OR CSA
C22.1-CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE.
THIS UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITH A THREE-
PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD
AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO
A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG
RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE
THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
DO NOT USE ANY POWER SUPPLY CORD
OTHER THAN THAT SUPPLIED WITH THIS
UNIT.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER
SUPPLY WHEN PERFORMING ANY SERVICE
ON THE FIREPLACE INSERT.
WARNING !
It is also important to remember that chimney size,
temperature and height all affect draft which in turn
affects the formation of creosote. An exterior chimney,
whether masonry or prefabricated steel, will be exposed
to cold outside temperatures, and consequently, will be
more prone to creosote accumulation than an interior
flue.
A chimney flue located within the home interior will
benefit from the insulating characteristics of the building
itself. Consequently, the flue system will be less conducive
to condensation of unburned gases and minimal creosote
accumulation will result.
As a general rule, try to avoid burning the insert at
the lowest air control settings. Although a low setting
will prolong burn time, it may also result in incomplete
combustion. In reducing the fire intensity, draft is
weakened and the chimney flue cools. This, together with
the increase in unburned gases, leads to rapid creosote
accumulation.
