You can induce fan operation by using both gas mode operation and the 110 land
line mode at the same time.  They will both work at the same time...use the
switch for 110 setting.  Within a few minutes the fan will come on since you are
overworking the system and have two heat sources.  I've heard this can lead to
over-heating of the amonia, so i would not advise running gas and 12v. of 110
simutaneously as standard practice, although you can.
