1.The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheo- stat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower as- sembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and the rheostat mounts to the left side of the valve. The assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically turns the fan ON (or OFF) above (or below) approxi- mately 109°F. The rheostat also provides a range of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the blower assembly. Conﬁrm that the fan spins freely.

2.Attach the fan assembly to the bracket provided in the log box. Use #10 sheet metal screws provided with fan kit. Do not remove ﬁnger guard screws.
