Operating Instructions
For Your Safety, Read Safety Precautions And
Lighting Instructions Before Operating
Remote controls (Optional):
This fireplace can use an optional remote control or an optional cordless wall thermostat. If either of these are to be used to control the fireplace for the majority of the time, leave the ON/OFF switch (on the control panel) in the remote/thermostat position. Consult the instructions included with the remote/wall thermostat for operation guidelines.
Blower Speed (Optional):
The blower will come on only when the fireplace is up to temperature (approximately 20 minutes). The speed of the fan can be changed by turning the fan control knob. To turn the blower off, turn the knob COUNTER CLOCKWISE until it “clicks” off.
It is advisable not to operate the blower below 1/3 speed as it puts a strain on the windings of the blower and running the blower at lower speeds could also cause premature fan failure.
