CARE AND OPERATION
PAGE 14
BLOWER SYSTEM
The Blower System consists of a ON/OFF rocker switch,
a variable speed blower speed control switch (rheostat),
a thermally activated switch (fan disc) and 4 axial blow-
ers.
When starting a fire, leave the blower system off until the
insert is thoroughly heated (approx. 30 minutes after start
up).
The blowers can be operated in one of the following
manners:
AUTO: Turn Rocker Switch to the OFF "o" position and
the rheostat to the ON position (rotate rheostat dial clock-
wise until it clicks). When the insert warms up (110° F),
the blower will automatically turn on (adjust rheostat dial
to the desired speed setting). When the insert cools down
(90° F), the blowers will automatically turn off.
MANUAL: Turn Rocker Switch to the ON "-" position
and adjust rheostat dial to the desired speed. The
Blower will have to be manually turned off by rotating
the rheostat dial counterclockwise until it clicks.
CAUTION: Burning the insert at a high burn rate for
extended periods without running the blowers can
cause excessive temperatures resulting in overfir-
ing damage to the appliance. Overfiring damage is
not covered under the 5 year prorated warranty.
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a blower
system which has a flexible electrical power cord
with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protec-
tion against shock hazard and should be plugged

tacle per local codes or NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest
edition. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from the power cord plug.

tal). Blower system has a flexible electrical cord that
