BLOWER
OPERATION
WARNING: This fireplace has
a three-prong, grounded electri-
cal plug. This plug helps protect
you against electrical shock.
Only connect plug to a properly
grounded, three-prong recep-
tacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
Locate the blower switch by opening lower lou-
ver on fireplace. Blower switch is located at
lower left inside louver door.
This thermostat-controlled blower has a vari-
able 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 distrib-
ute heated air from the fireplace.
Note:
Periodically check the louvers of the
firebox and remove any dust, dirt, or other ob-
structions.

level you select. The ideal comfort setting will
vary by household depending upon the amount
of space to be heated, the output of the central
heating system, etc.
