OPERATING
BLOWER
This blower has three settings: ON, OFF, and
AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will op-
erate 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 distrib-
ute heated air from the fireplace.
