OPERATING
BLOWER
This blower has three settings: ON, OFF and AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will oper- ate 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 distribute heated air from the fireplace.
