BLOWER
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.
Note:
Your fireplace and thermostat 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 fireplace.
