exit the left side or the right side of the firebox. Route power
cord through exit hole and plug the power cord into a wall
receptacle near the firebox.

plug the power cord into the duplex outlet provided. Refer
to your firebox owner’s manual for instructions on wiring
the duplex outlet.
CAUTION: Never touch the blower wheel while in
operation.

blower wheel and that there are no other foreign objects in blower
wheel. Turn blower on and check for operation. Turn blower off
by turning knob fully counterclockwise before continuing.
10. Peel off the backing paper and stick the supplied wiring dia-
gram decal on the firebox bottom approximately 12" in front
of the blower (see Figure 27).
