Vermont Casting SDV30 manual Install the Optional Fan, Remove rear skirt insert

Install the Optional Fan

If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit #2767 (FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a Fan Kit, go to Page 14, Venting System Assembly.

1.The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheo- stat Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 12) The Blower Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and the Rheostat mounts to the valve bracket to the left of the valve. The assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically turns the fan On (or Off) above (or below) approximately 109˚. The Rheo- stat also provides a range of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the Blower assembly. Confirm the fan spins freely.

WARNING

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a prop- erly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
