BLOWER SYSTEM
The Continental gas fireplace insert comes standard with a blower, a heat sensor, variable on/off speed control and a power cord. Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 15 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run for approxi- mately 30 minutes after the fireplace has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Air, drawn in through the lower louvre access door, is driven up the back of the firebox, and exhausted as hot air between the upper louvres.
FIGURE11
Drywall dust will penetrate into blower bearings causing irrepairable damage and must be prevented from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.
Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
Natural gas models have air shutters set at 1/16 (.063") inch open. Propane gas models have air shutters set at 3/ 16 (.188) inch open. Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The flame may not ap- pear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be established.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A
QUALIFIED GAS INSTALLER!
