If electrical power has not been provided to the unit’s junction box
receptacle - Route a 3-wire, 120 Vac power line to the unit’s junction
box. Remove the receptacle by removing the two securing screws.
Connect the supply wires to the receptacle as shown in
Figure 10
.
Reinstall the receptacle.
IMPORTANT: Ground lead must be connected to the green screw located
on the junction box. Failure to do so will prevent the appliance from
operating. The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition (In Canada, the current CSA C22-1
Canadian Electrical Code).

. Bend these
tabs up, 90 degrees. Place the control module behind the vertical tabs as
shown in
Figure 3
and secure the module to the tabs with the two screws
provided in this kit.

Adjust the height of the thermal element sensing disk located on
top of the module so that it touches the underside of the firebox
floor in Direct-vent units, B-600/800 units and the firebox sub-floor
in B-500 units. To accomplish this, loosen the wing nut on the mod-
ule’s side, raise the sensing disk housing to the height required above,
then retighten the wingnut. See
Figure 8, View A
