Blower Controls.

Blower Function
The blower is controlled by a heat-activated switch
(snapstat) that will only function if the blower control
switch is in either the Manual or Automatic setting.
In the Automatic setting, the blower will not operate
until the sensor reaches 120°F. This will take about 10
minutes in most installations.
Conversely, once the burner is off, the blower will
continue to operate until the snapstat cools down to
110°F and shuts off power to the blower.
If the blower is not needed, place the blower con-
trol switch in the OFF position and the snapstat will
not function.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BLOWER
UNIT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY WHEN PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE.

Maintenance

The GI 550 DV gas fireplace and its venting system
should be inspected before use and at least annually
by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE FIREPLACE
AND UNPLUG THE FORCED AIR BLOWER BEFORE ANY
SERVICE WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE FIREPLACE.

Annual Cleaning

Vent System
The entire vent system, including the chimney, should
be inspected and cleaned every year. If the intake
and exhaust venting is disassembled for any reason,
it should be reassembled and sealed according to
the vent manufacturer's instructions provided at the
initial installation.
Burner and Log Set
Periodically inspect the Firebox, Valve Compartment,
Blower Assembly and Convection Airways to BE CER-
TAIN THAT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILA-
TION AIR IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
The firebox should be vacuumed at least annu-
ally to remove any surface build up. Use a soft brush
attachment and handle the logs carefully as they are
fragile. Be sure to vacuum or wipe off the pilot assem-
bly, burner orifice and burner tube.
Glass Care
Clean the glass as necessary. Wipe the surface with
a clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with a dry, soft
towel. Take care not to scratch the glass surface.
Scan 70i: Sliding Glass Panel Care
The black coating around the perimeter of the back of
this glass is especially prone to fingerprinting when
handled. Fingerprints may be wiped clean with a soft
cloth and any common window cleaning solution.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS ON THE
GLASS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.
