Vermont Castings Radiance
Install Optional Fan, #2767/FK26
Install the fan kit before the stove is connected to the gas line.
The fan consists of a blower assembly and a rheostat switch that are connected by a wire harness. The blower attaches to brackets at the bottom of the rear shroud. The rheostat installs within the remote switch box, at the top left rear corner.
The fan kit includes a ‘snapstat’, a temperature- sensing switch which will be mounted to the blower duct just below the top plate of the stove. The snapstat automatically turns the fan on or off at approximately 109°F.
The rheostat provides a range of fan speed settings from OFF (which overrides the snapstat function) to high.
