This appliance is equipped with a 15° thermally operated
snap disc which will automatically turn the blower on when
the insert reaches this temperature.
The snap disc is located at the center of the insert, under
the lower grille. There is a manual override switch on
the right side of the insert. The blower can be controlled
manually by switching this switch to ON and operating the
blower with the speed control.
