OPTIONAL SINGLE SPEED BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Attention:

  Install blower assembly before connecting gas inlet 

supply line.

Wiring

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in 

accordance  with  local  codes  or,  in  the  absence  of  local  codes, 

with  the

  National  Electrical  Code, ANSI/NFPA  70

,  if  an  exter-

nal electrical source is utilized. 

This appliance 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. 

For an ungrounded receptacle, 

an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can 

be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire 

connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire com-

pleting the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into 

the adapter and be electrically grounded.

Caution: 

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-

ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous 

operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Note:

 Junction box on right side of firebox must be pre-wired at 

time of firebox installation for use with blower assembly. A 

standard wall ON/OFF wall switch or optional SCV1 Vari-

able Speed Control Kit should be installed to activate pow-

er to the Firebox, and control the operation of the FBB5 

Blower assembly. It is recommended that installation of the 

wiring be performed by a qualified electrician.

A factory installed junction box is located on the lower right 

side of the firebox. Wiring must be fed to the junction box 

and  attached  to  the  receptacle  that  is  provided.  From  right 

side of the firebox, remove the screw securing the junction 

box assembly. Leave approximately 6” of wire in the junction 

box for connection.
Attach black wire to one side of the receptacle and white wire 

to opposite side of receptacle. The ground wire should be at-
