BLOWER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
and must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the
current ANSI/NFPA 70-1996
NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL
CODE
.
If the fireplace was
not previously
equipped with a
blower:
route a
grounded 2-wire, 60hz
power cable to the junc-
tion box. At this point, it
must be strain relieved
and insulated.
The three slots on the
blower mounting bracket
allow ease of adjustment
when attaching the
blower. For a quiet run-
ning blower, do not allow
the assembly to sit on the
firebox base.
Slide the vibration reducing pad
(A)
into the clip
(C)
and up
against the threaded stud
(B)
at the other end. The blower
must be able to be positioned entirely onto the pad.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and
into the clip
(C)
. Secure to the threaded stud using the lock
washer and wing nut provided. Ensure that the blower
does not touch the fireplace base or the firebox.
Attach the connectors from the black and white wires to the
thermodisc and secure the thermodisc bracket to the se-
curing stud at the bottom left of the unit using a lock washer
and wing nut. Ensure that the thermodisc touches the fire-
box wall.
Attach the connectors from the
black and red wires to the
blower.
Attach and secure the variable
speed switch using the nut pro-
vided. Plug the harness cord
into the receptacle.
The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal
harness. When installed, ensure that any excess
wire is contained, preventing it from making con-
tact with moving or hot objects.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately
10 minutes after lighting the fireplace and will run
for approximately 30-45 after the fireplace has
been turned off. Use of the fan increases the out-
put of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bear-
ings causing irreparable damage. Care must be
taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any
damage resulting from this condition is not cov-
ered by the warranty policy.
