This blower has three settings: ON, OFF, and
AUTO. In the ON position, the blower will oper-
ate constantly. In the OFF position, the blower
will not operate. In the AUTO position, the
blower will start when the thermostat senses a
sufcient increase in rebox temperature.
Note: Your replace and thermostat blower
will not turn on and off at the same time. The
replace 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 rebox
temperature decreases.
Note: It is safe to operate replace with blower
turned off. However, the blower helps distribute
heated air from the replace.

Figure 32 shows a correct pilot ame pattern.
Figure 33 shows an incorrect pilot ame pattern.
The incorrect pilot ame is not properly heating the
thermocouple. This will cause the thermocouple to
cool. When the thermocouple cools, the replace
will shut down.
If pilot ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 33
turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 20)
see Troubleshooting, page 23
Note: The pilot ame on natural gas units will
have a slight curve, but ame should be blue and
have no yellow or orange color.

Figure 33 shows a correct burner ame pattern.
Figure 34 shows an incorrect burner ame pattern.
The incorrect burner ame pattern shows sporadic,
irregular ame tipping. The ame should not be
dark or have an orange/reddish tinge.
Note: When using the replace the rst time, the
ame will be orange for approximately one hour
until the log cures.
If burner ame pattern is incorrect, as shown in
Figure 34
turn replace off (see To Turn Off Gas to Ap-
pliance, page 20)
