Blower Accessory Information

The appliance, when installed must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.

U.S. Installations, follow local codes and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

Should this blower require servicing, the power supply must be disconnected. For rewiring of any replacement components, re- fer to Figures 16 and 17 and the parts list on page 25.

BLOWER ACCESSORY

Operation

The ﬁreplace insert is equipped with a factory installed blower accessory that includes a fan control switch, plus a rheostat (speed control).

The speed control knob is located behind the lower louver at the right side of the insert.

From a cold start, the temperature activated fan control switch will normally take 5-10 minutes to heat up and energize the blower.

Once the blower is energized, adjust the blower speed control as desired, then replace the lower louver.

When the insert is shut off, it may take 30-40 minutes for the heated unit to dissipate (cool down) enough for the blower to shut off automatically. Note: The blower shut off times will vary on blower speed and BTU input level setting control by adjustment of the HI/LO knob located on the gas valve.

Blower removal instructions

Servicing or removal of the blower system must be performed by a qualiﬁed service person.

If the blower assembly (Item 45, page 24) must be replaced, the following steps are recommended for removal:

1.Turn off gas and disconnect the electrical supply.

2.Remove the glass door assembly.

3.Remove the log set.

4.Remove the front surround panel assembly by lifting upward and outward to detach.

6.Remove the insert from the ﬁreplace cavity by pulling forward on the insert, and at the same time, sliding the vent plate rearward until disengaged.

7.As the insert is moved outward, the gas line may need to be disconnected at the insert shut off valve. If so, make sure the main gas line is shut off that supplies gas to the insert.

8.Once the insert is pulled out, the blower assembly can be removed by locating the (6) screws on the lower back of the insert that retains the blower base plate.
