Model BKT Installation
Note: When installing the BKT
Follow all instructions provided in the blower accessory kit:
1.Place the green ground wire with ring terminal between the bottom hole on the thermal switch bracket and the top ear hole on the blower assembly. Insert the phillips screw into all three pieces and tighten securely (see Figure 37, page 19).
2.Connect wire harness and power cord terminals. Connect the blue jumper wire to the blower motor terminal and the right side terminal of the thermal switch. Connect the black wire to the left side of the thermal switch and the white wire to the other remaining blower motor terminal.
Note: The power cord outer insulation sleeve may have to be stripped slightly to allow enough wire length to reach and make all connections. DO NOT trim excessive length away. Just enable enough to make all connections securely.
3.Place the blower against the lower rear wall of the firebox outer wrapperwiththeexhaustportdirectedupwardandthethermodisc poaitioned up near the fireplace bottom.The thermodisc must be oriented near the fireplace bottom as shown in Figure 37, page 19, in order to sense temperature and properly operate. The blower will be held in position against the back wall by the magnets incorporated onto the blower housing (see Figure 37, page 19).
