right side of the ash pan housing on the ceiling of the lower air inlet chamber. Utilize two of the screws
provided and mount the snap disk. All connections to the wiring harness should be complete.
INSTALLATION, STEP 4
Verify the wiring is not strained, damaged, or cut from the installation procedure. Ensure proper electrical
connections of all blower system components. Once verified, the 3-prong power cord can be plugged into
the electrical duplex outlet located on the right side of the lower air inlet chamber. It is recommended that
the main circuit breaker be turned off until all connections are complete.
INSTALLATION, FINAL STEP
Ensure that the blower circuit has been energized by turning on the main circuit breaker. Ensure that the
rheostat has been set to high speed. Using a hair dryer, heat the thermo snap disk up until the system has
energized. Once the Inglenook blower system test is complete, ensure all tools have been removed and
clean up the work area. Close the Inglenook lower grill unit verifying that no damage has occurred to the
grill during the blower installation.
Once installed, the IN-6200 blower system should provide years of trouble free operation.
MAINTENANCE
The IN-6200 blower system requires little or no maintenance. On a routine basis, a light wiping of the
lower compartment chamber will be required to remove dust that has been drawn into the chamber. On an
annual basis, the blower unit can be removed to clean the squirrel cage housings. Cleaning or light
vacuuming of the upper Inglenook chamber may be required on a semi-annual to annual basis. This will
require removing the screws from the upper grill in order to obtain access to the upper chamber. Cleaning
of the Inglenook will be a function of the amount of use, the amount of dust and debris in the home, and
depends greatly on the home’s main furnace filtration system. Clean the Inglenook as necessary to ensure
proper operation and avoid allowing dust to build up.
OPERATION
Electrical power is provided to the rheostat from the main circuit breaker panel. The rheostat controls the
Inglenook blower speed by controlling the amount of power delivered to the Inglenook blower motor.
Varying the rheostat control knob will increase or decrease the speed of the air being moved through the
Inglenook fireplace. The blower system will not operate until such time that a fire, in the Inglenook
firebox, has warmed the thermo snap disk above 110
0
F. Once the snap disk closes, the blower system
should begin to operate. The blower system will continue to operate, even after the Inglenook fire has gone
out. The blower continues to operate until the snap disk cools down and opens the electrical circuit.
PROBLEMS
The Inglenook blower system is a very simple electrical series circuit. This means electrical power
comes from the main circuit breaker panel to the rheostat, through the electrical duplex outlet,
through the snap disk, to the blower motor, and returns to the main circuit breaker panel. In the
event the blower system does not work, test the duplex outlet by plugging in a lamp, hair dryer,
vacuum cleaner or other household appliance that uses a standard 15-ampere outlet. If this
appliance works, then it tells the homeowner that the main circuit breaker panel, the rheostat, the
electrical outlet, and all wiring to these parts are good. If the household appliance fails to operate,
ensure that the main circuit breaker has not tripped. Whether the circuit breaker is or is not tripped
the remaining electrical circuit; snap disk and blower unit, will require a qualified electrician to
provide service in the event the system is still not operating properly. Contact a local authorized
dealer or Country Flame for assistance.
