INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
and must be electrically connected and grounded in ac-
cordance with local codes. In the absense of local codes,
use the current CSA C22.1 C

If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a
blower:
route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the
receptacle / junction 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 running
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
securing stud at the bot-
tom left of the unit using
a lock washer and wing
nut. Ensure that the
thermodisc touches the
firebox wall.

Attach the connectors
from the black and red
wires to the blower.

Attach and secure the vari-
able speed switch using
the nut provided. Plug the
harness cord into the re-
ceptacle.

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 minutes after the fire-
place has been turned off. Use of the fan increases
the output 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.
