5. OPERATION

The fan is designed for automatic operation using a thermal switch. To operate the
fan, press the switch to the left or right from the central off position, the position
marked with two dashes being the hi speed, one dash being the lo. The fan will not
run until the thermal switch is heated by the fireplace, this takes approx 5 to 10
mins. Should electrical power fail, the heater operation will remain unaffected. If the
fire is turned off, the fan will continue to operate until the thermal switch cools,
unless the switch is moved to the central, off position.

6. MAINTENANCE

This fan does not require any regular maintenance or lubrication, however periodic
cleaning of the fan compartment to remove household lint will help to maintain peak
fan performance.
This can be accessed by removing the bottom grill and using the crevice tool on the
end of a vacuum cleaner hose, carefully clean the bottom area of the fireplace
linerbox paying particular attention to the area under the burner box base.
Should the fan require additional servicing, it must be done by a qualified gas
appliance service person.
Over time, it may be useful to clean the fan blades themselves for dust
accumulation. To do this, it is necessary to remove the burner assembly. This must
be done by a qualified gas appliance service person.
