INSPECTING
BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is
not touching the thermocouple. This will
cause the thermocouple to cool. When the
thermocouple cools, the fireplace will shut
down.

Blower Kit Model GA3700T
Series
Locate the blower switch by opening the
lower louver on fireplace. Blower switch
is located at lower left inside louver door.
The GA3700TA 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.
IMPORTANT: Light your gas appliance
with the blower off.
Note for GA3700TA: If you are using
GA3700TA 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 fireplace.
Note: Periodically check the louvers of
the firebox and remove any dust, dirt, or
other obstructions.
Follow installation instructions included
with the blower accessory.
