OPERATING
FIREPLACE

OPTIONAL BLOWER
OPERATION
Locate the blower switch by opening lower
louver on fireplace. Blower switch is lo-
cated at lower left inside louver door.
The GA3700TA thermostat-controlled
blower has a variable speed control with
an ON/OFF switch. The blower will start
when the thermostat senses a sufficient
increase in firebox temperature. The
GA3700 variable speed blower also has
an ON/OFF switch built into the variable
speed control.
Note for GA3700TA Only:
If you are
using GA3700TA blower, your fireplace
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 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.
Follow installation instructions included
with the blower accessory.

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame
patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 31 shows a correct pilot flame pat-
tern. Figure 32 shows an incorrect pilot
flame pattern. The incorrect pilot flame is
not properly heating the thermocouple.
When the thermocouple cools, the heater
will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown
in Figure 32
• turn heater off (see To Turn Off Gas to
Appliance, page 15)

INSPECTING
BURNERS
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame holes
with the heater running. All slotted burner
flame holes should be open with yellow
flame present. All round burner flame holes
should be open with a small blue flame
present. Some burner flame holes may be-
come blocked by debris or rust, with no
flame present. If so, turn off heater and let
cool. Either remove blockage or replace
burner. Blocked burner flame holes may
create soot.
• In the AUTO mode, the thermostat
in the hand-held remote unit con-
trols the room temperature. To in-
crease the room temperature, press
the top arrow of the TEMP button.
To lower the room temperature,
press the bottom arrow of the
TEMP button. At higher settings
the heater will run longer.
IMPORTANT:
This remote control
has been specially engineered to
take an air temperature sample ev-
ery minute in the auto mode. It will
not respond immediately to the
temperature setting being turned
up or down.
IMPORTANT:
The hand-held re-
mote control unit must be near the
heater. Do not keep the hand-held
remote control unit too close to the
heater. The thermostat on the
hand-held remote control unit will
heat up too quickly and turn the
heater off.
3. To turn the burner off, press the
AUTO/ON/OFF button until OFF
lights. The pilot will remain lit.
IMPORTANT:
To turn the pilot off,
manually turn the control knob on the
heater to the OFF position.
