BLOWER
OPERATION
WARNING: This fireplace has
a three-prong, grounded electrical
plug. This plug helps protect you
against electrical shock. Only con-
nect plug to a properly grounded,
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
Locate the blower switch by opening lower
louver on fireplace. Blower switch is located at
lower left inside louver door.
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.
OPTIONAL HAND-HELD
REMOTE OPERATION
Note: All remote control accessories must be
purchased separately (see Accessories, pages
31). Follow instructions included with the re-
mote control.
NOTICE: You must light the pilot
before using the hand-held re-
mote control unit. See Lighting
Instructions on page 21.
After lighting, let pilot flame burn for about
one minute. Turn control knob to ON posi-
tion. Adjust flame adjustment knob anywhere
between HI and LO. Slide the selector switch to
the REMOTE position (see Figure 32, page 23).
Note: The burner may light if hand-held remote
was on when selector switch was last turned off.
You can now turn the burner on and off with
the hand-held remote control unit.
IMPORTANT:
Do not leave the selector switch
in the REMOTE or ON position when the pilot
is not lit. This will drain the battery.
