Blower Operation
The Scan 45i is equipped with a 125 cfm heat-activated
blower. The power cord should be connected to the
nearest 120V house current outlet.
The cord is equipped 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.
The blower must be electrically grounded in accor-
dance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the current NFPA 70- National Electrical Code or
CSA C22.1-Canadian Code.
The blower is controlled by a heat activated switch
(snapstat) that will function only if the blower control
switch is in the Automatic ( ) setting. Once the firebox
heats after the burner has been operating for a short
time, the blower will power on regardless of speed
control setting. In Automatic ( ) mode, the blower will
continue to operate after the burner is turned off, until the
snapstat cools. See fig. 36.
In the manual power ON ( ) position, the blower will
function regardless of the temperature of the fireplace.
If blower operation is not desired, place the control
switch in the OFF ( ) position to bypass the snapstat
function.
System Check
• Initial System Purge:
When lighting the appliance for
the first time, or after a long period of disuse, it will
take a few moments to clear the gas line of air. Once
this purge is complete, the appliance will operate as
described in the lighting instructions located on the
insert’s rating plate and back cover of this manual.
•
The pilot flame should be steady - not lifting or float-
ing. The flame should be blue in color around the
pilot hood, with traces of yellow toward the outer
edges. It is important that the pilot flame engulf
the top 1/8” of the flame rectifier / sensor. The pilot
flame should project out of the pilot hood 1” from
both ports. See Figure 35.
• When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit an
odor for an hour or two. This odor is the result of burn-
off of manufacturing by-pro ducts. Opening a nearby
window to provide fresh air will alleviate this tempo-
rary condition.
• Condensation may occur on the glass upon each light-
ing of the appliance. This “fog” will disappear as the
appliance temperature increases.
• Keep the controls and the area under the appliance
free of debris; vacuum this area frequently. Always
keep the appliance area clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids.
ALWAYS be sure the insert is cold and NO hot embers
or sparks are present before using a vacuum cleaner.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH
THE GLASS REMOVED, CRACKED OR BROKEN.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER WHEN
SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION

RORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS
OPERATION. ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION
AFTER SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

Accent Lamps
Twin accent lamps are controlled by the switch and
dimmer located to the left of the blower controls.
Use of the accent lamps will assist in maintaining
draft in very long vent runs and thereby help ensure
consistent IPI performance.
