Test fan
It may be desireable to test the fan operation before
reassembling the burner module and completing the
fireplace installation.
To test the fan operation the thermal switch can be
temporarily bypassed by connecting the power cord
lead directly to the fan motor (see diagram). Be careful
with wire terminals on motor, they are fragile. Unplug
the power cord from the control module before
bypassing the thermal switch. Following instructions
below, confirm fan operation with the thermal switch
bypassed then reconnect thermal switch.
Note: If desirable, the thermal switch may be left
permanently bypassed; however the fan may continue
to run when the burner shuts off but the control knob
has not yet rotated all the way down.
