Canadian Electrical Code.
U.S. Installations, follow local codes and the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

BLOWER ACCESSORY
Operation
The fireplace insert is equipped with a factory installed blower
accessory that includes a fan control switch, plus a rheostat
(speed control).
The speed control knob is located in the lower compartment at the
right side of the insert.
From a cold start, the temperature activated fan control switch will
normally take 5-10 minutes to heat up and energize the blower.
Once the blower is energized, adjust the blower speed control as
desired.
When the insert is shut off, it may take 30-40 minutes for the
heated unit to dissipate (cool down) enough for the blower to shut
off automatically. NOTICE: The blower shut off times will vary on
blower speed and BTU input level setting control by adjustment of
the HI/LO knob located on the gas valve.
