COMBUSTION BLOWER: The blower provides the air that mixes with the gas in the burners for the combustion process. The
blower operates during the pre-purge time (approximately 30 seconds) at the beginning of each ignition cycle, during the entire time
the gas valve is open and the burners are firing, and for 30 seconds after the gas valve closes. See Figure23: Location of
Components and Figure30: Blower.
