OPERATING FIREPLACE

Continued

Locate the blower switch by opening lower louver on fireplace.
Blower switch is located at lower left inside louver door.

This thermostat-controlled blower has a variable 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 distribute heated air from the fireplace.

MODEL VSGF28PV

Blower Kit Model GA3750 Series

This optional non-thermostat blower kit features a variable
control which allows you to select the speed you desire. After
about 15 minutes, turn the blower on to deliver heated air at the

 Light your gas appliance with the blower off.

Note:

 Periodically check the louvers of the firebox and remove

any dust, dirt, or other obstructions.

Blower Kit Model GA3650T Series

Locate the blower switch by opening the lower louver on fire-
place. Blower switch is located at lower left inside louver door.

The GA3650T thermostat-controlled blower has a variable
speed control with an ON/OFF switch. The blower will start
when the thermostat senses a sufficient increase in firebox
temperature.

Note for GA3650T:

 If you are using GA3650T blower, your gas

fireplace and blower will not turn on and off at the same time.
The fireplace may run for several minutes before the blower
turns on. After the heater modulates to the pilot position, the
blower will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the
firebox temperature decreases.

Note:

 It is safe to operate fireplace with blower turned off.

However, the blower helps distribute heated air from the fire-
