4. Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of firebox. Posi
-
tion blower assembly so that you align the notch on back of
blower assembly with the center screw on firebox back, then
push the blower assembly against firebox back. The blower
wheel must be centered with the back wall of the firebox. The
magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will suf-
ficiently hold blower assembly in place.
Note:
For field installation of blower assembly, it may be easier to
remove rear cover panel to install blower. this eliminates
the need to remove brick liner panels, but the blower would
have to be installed prior to installing the firebox into a
wall or chase.
See Figure 15.
5. once the blower assembly is in position, locate the plug but-
ton in the top right rear corner of the firebox. Remove the
plug with a standard screwdriver and discard plug.
6. Next, find the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed the
wires through the hole at the top of the firebox, and secure the
fan control switch with (2) #6 screws provided.
See Figure
16.
7. The fan control wires will slide down between the firebox
and outer wrap near the blower assembly.
See Figure 16
.
8. one fan control wire will have a 1/4” female terminal that
must be attached to the open terminal on the blower motor.
See Figure 19, connection A.
9. the other fan control wire has a 1/4” male terminal. attach
this terminal to the open terminal on the blower power cord.
See Figure 19, connection B
10. Route the wires away from moving parts of the blower as-
sembly and retain wires together near the blower motor using
the plastic purse clip provided.
11. to complete the installation, plug the power cord into the
junction box receptacle at the right rear corner of the firebox
outer wrap.
See Figure 17.
12. if room permits, the power cord can be located from the out-
side of the unit looking through the junction box access hole
(with the junction box removed), then plug up the power cord
before reinstalling the pre-wired junction box.
13. once all connections are made electrically, it is recommend-
ed that you test the blower fan control operation by turning
on power to the blower (caution: 110 Volt). then apply heat
to the fan control switch inside the firebox with a lighter or
match until blower is activated. once blower is activated,
check for proper operation. Do not place hands near blower
assembly or other wiring while power is on.
14. Replace blower access plate and/or reinstall the brick liner
panels if provided.
15. this completes the installation of the optional FBB5 Blower
kit accessory.
Note:
this blower is equipped with a heat activated fan control
switch. Blower will operate when the firebox warms up,
and will turn off automatically when the firebox cools
down.
