Blower Speed Control
This appliance is equipped with a hot air circulating blower. The speed
of the blower is controlled by the Remote. The blower speed can be
adjusted through six (6) levels.
Blower speed will be indicated by either an Off, Level Bar, or HI shown
in the Set Point/Temp/Level/State indicator area.
To activate this function use the Mode Key to index to the blower control
icon
(see Figures 22 and 23)
. Use the Up/Down Arrow keys to turn on,
off or adjust the blower speed. A single “beep” will confirm reception
of the command.
Blower Operation
This appliance comes equipped with a 150 CFM blower with a variable
speed control and a time activated switch.
NOTE: Time activated switch
only applies to Room Thermostat and Smart Thermostat modes.
Operation:
1. Plug the power cord into a grounded (three-prong) outlet. This appliance
is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your 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 this plug.
2. After the appliance is operating for 5 minutes, the blower will turn on
if you have selected it using the remote.
3. You can adjust the blower level at any time by using the remote.
Key Lock
This function will lock the keys to avoid unsupervised operation. To
activate this function, press the MODE and UP keys at the same time.
To de-activate this function, press MODE and UP Keys at the same time.
Flame Color and Behavior
This appliance is designed for maximum heating efficiency. Therefore,
upon lighting of the main burner the flames will be semi-transparent or
“bluish.” After 10-20 minutes of operation the logs will heat up and the
flames will become a yellow/orange color.
Adjusting the appliance to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may
result in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See
Figure
26
showing proper flame appearance.
When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed
adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main
burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main
burner operation at both high and low flame.

Paint Curing
This appliance has been painted with a high temperature metallic stove
paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but finishes curing as the
appliance is used. Fire the appliance four successive times for ten minutes
each time with a five minute cool down between each firing. Ventilate the
house during these first firings as the paint gives off an unpleasant odor.
It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor
air quality avoid the appliance during the curing process.
Quiet Operation
As the appliance is burning, a number of normal operational sounds may
be heard. The flow of gas through the gas valve and orifice may make a
rushing or whistling noise. If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced
by turning down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce total heat
output by more than 30%. When the blower turns on, the sound of rush-
ing air may be heard. The blower sounds may be reduced by adjusting
the speed of the blower assembly. Also, a slight clicking sound may be
heard as the gas valve or blower switch turn on and off.
