Rear Access Panel/Heat Shield Assembly
BLOWER AND SNAP DISC REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
BLOWER DOES NOT REQUIRE LUBRICATION. HOWEVER, WE
RECOMMEND VACUUMING OR BRUSHING OFF DUST OR LINT FROM THE FAN
BLADES AS NEEDED.
BLOWER AND SNAP DISC REMOVAL
This appliance is equipped with a 170 cfm convection blower that is automatically controlled
by a temperature-sensing snap disc (145º). The blower has a speed control located on the
control panel behind the lower grill. The blower is located behind the rear access panel at the
back of the firebox. It will be necessary to remove the log set to remove the access panel.
There are twelve screws that hold the panel in place. To replace or access the blower or snap
disc, follow the instructions below and observe the drawing on the following page.
1. Disconnect power from the unit and turn off gas supply.
2. Remove the log set (see log installation, page 14, for reinstallation).
3. Remove the rear log support, then remove the eight screws that hold the rear access
panel/heat shield assembly in place.
4. To remove rear access panel/heat shield assembly, slightly tip forward and remove from
firebox. The snap disc is located on the back of this assembly. To replace snap disc,
slide it out of its holder before removing heat shield from the firebox. If the snap disc is
all that needs to be replaced, reinstall assembly and log set in reverse order. For blower
removal, continue to the next step.
5. Disconnect the blower wiring. This blower is held in place by rubber grommets that
slide over two metal studs welded to the bottom of the unit. Gently lift blower off
mounting studs and remove.
6. Reinstall in reverse order.
IMPORTANT!
The blower is equipped with a three prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard, and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three
prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
