OPERATING OPTIONAL
BLOWER ACCESSORY
Locate the blower controls by opening the lower louver panel
on the fireplace. Blower controls are located on the left side of
the switch bracket to the left just inside the louver panel.
The BK manual blower and the BKT thermostatically-controlled
blower have an ON setting and an OFF setting. The blower
will only run when the switch is in the ON position. In the OFF
position, the blower will not operate.
Note for BKT Only: If you are using BKT blower with optional
thermostat (wall mounted or remote control) for the fireplace,
your fireplace and blower will not turn on and off at the same
time. The fireplace 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
firebox temperature decreases.
The blower helps distribute heated air from the fireplace. Peri-
odically check the louvers of the firebox and remove any dust,
dirt, or other obstructions that will hinder the flow of air.
11. Visually locate the pilot. The ignitor should begin to spark and
the main burner should ignite once flame appears at pilot.
• If lighting the appliance for the first time each season,
it may take several attempts before the supply gas can
reach the pilot and main burners.
• If the appliance will not stay lit after several attempts,
follow the instructions To Turn Off Gas To Appliance, and
call your service technician or gas supplier.
