GWMS2 WALL MOUNTED
SWITCH (OPTIONAL)
Make sure the heater switch is on AUTO. This wall switch works just like the conventional light switch. Flip the switch up for on and down for off.
Note: Make sure that this switch is not in a position to be mistaken for a light switch. This may result in the fireplace being inadvertently turned on without the proper precautions being taken. See installation instructions on page 22 of this manual.
OPERATING
BLOWER
This blower has three settings: ON, OFF, and AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will operate constantly. In the OFF posi- tion, the blower will not operate. In the AUTO position, the blower will start when the thermostat senses a sufficient in- crease 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 distribute heated air from the fireplace.

INSPECTING BURNERS
Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 55 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 56 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.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 56
•turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Appliance, page 24 for Ther-
•see Troubleshooting, pages 29 through 31
Note: The pilot flame on natural gas units will have a slight curve, but flame should be blue and have no yellow or orange color.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Figure 57 shows a correct burner flame pattern. Figure 58 shows an incorrect burner flame pattern. The incorrect burner flame pattern shows sporadic, irregular flame tipping. The flame should not be dark or have an orange/reddish tinge.
Note: When using the fireplace the first time, the flame will be orange for approximately one hour until the log cures.
