ELECTRICAL LINE INSTALLATION
120 VOLTS AC FOR BLOWER SYSTEM
The Inglenook blower system requires a 120-volt alternating current, 15-ampere, 60-Hertz power
supply circuit. Figure 20 shows the basic electrical diagram for the Inglenook’s blower system.
CAUTION: Moving parts may cause Injury. Do not operate the Inglenook with its lower grill
open.

BLOWER OPERATION
Operation of the blower system is relatively simple. After the fire has generated enough heat, the
blower system will automatically turn on. The blower begins to operate because the Inglenook grate
area has reached approximately 110
0 F causing the installed snap disk to close thus energizing the
blower motor electrical circuit. Blower motor system operation could take longer than 20 minutes
depending on room temperature, outside temperature, and the size of the fire started in the Inglenook.
It is important to note that if the wall mounted blower speed control is installed and turned to low, the
blower’s speed will limit the amount of airflow that can be obtained as the blower motor begins
operation. Do not try to service the blower system unless you are a certified electrician. With the
blower motor system plugged into the receptacle and the electrical supply energized, an electrical
shock potential exists. The Inglenook lower compartment is labeled with Risk of Electrical Shock.
Disconnect Power Before servicing the Unit. Knowledge of electrical systems is required for
troubleshooting and servicing of the blower system.
In addition, the blower system has moving parts that may cause injury. Do not reach into the
lower grill area and try to determine if the blower is operating by touching or feeling for a vibration of
the motor. Reaching into the area of moving parts may cause injury. Never reach into the lower grill
compartment when the Inglenook Fireplace is being burnt as severe burns can occur from contact
with hot parts.
DANGER: Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect Power Before Servicing The Blower Unit.
