operating optional blower accessory

Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel on the fireplace. Blower controls are located on the left side of the switch bracket to the right just inside the louver panel.

The BK manual blower and the BKT thermo- statically-controlled blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower will only run when the switch is in the ON position. In the OFF position, the blower will not operate.

Note for BKT Only: If you are using BKT blower with optional thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the fireplace, your fire- place and 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 blow- er will continue to run. The blower will shut off after the firebox temperature decreases.

The blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace. Periodically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any dust, dirt or other obstructions that will hinder the flow of air.

The flame must envelope 1/4" of top of the ignitor/ sensor and grounding stem.

If your pilot assembly does not meet these re- quirements:

Turn the adjustment screw marked PILOT clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the flame to proper size (see Figure 42, page 28). Do not remove the adjustment screw.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN

Burner flames will be steady; not lifting or floating. Flame patterns will be different from unit to unit and will vary depending on installation type and weather conditions.

If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the flames will lift or "ghost". This can be danger- ous. Inspect the flames after installation to ensure proper installation and performance.

Figure 45 shows a typical flame pattern.

If burner flame pattern differs from that de- scribed:

turn fireplace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap- pliance, page 28)

see Troubleshooting, page 31

Inspecting Burners

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame pat-

 

terns often.

PILOT Assembly
