Installing GA3750/CDA3620T Blowers

IMPORTANT: For clarity, gas valve assem- bly and grate/burner assembly are not shown in Figures 30 through 33, page 17. They will, however, be in your fireplace when you are installing the blower. Also for clarity the firebox is shown with dotted lines.

1.Open lower louver panel or remove for easier access.

2.Place the blower against the lower rear wall of firebox outer wrapper with the exhaust port directed upward. Align the holes in the top mounting tabs of blower with holes in wall of wrapper (see Figure 30, page 17). Using the two screws provided, mount blower and tighten screws securely.

Note: For CDA3620T, make sure the thermal switch is comfortably between the back of the firebox and the blower as shown in Figure 31, page 17.

3.Be sure to securely attach all wire ter- minals to terminals on blower motor (and thermal switch where applicable) and that the screw retaining the green ground wire is tight.

4.Remove screws securing the switch plate to the bottom of the firebox and set aside.

5.Place speed control against back of this plate and push the plastic control shaft through opening (see Figure 32, page 17).

6.While supporting speed control, secure con- trol shaft with lock nut by pushing and turn- ing lock nut with pliers clockwise until tight against the plate. Place control knob pro- vided onto shaft (see Figure 32, page 17).

7.Replace plate containing the switch and tighten screws securely.

spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing material. See framing details on page 4.

Place the fireplace into position and shim with noncombustible material if needed. Nail the side flanges to the framing to secure the unit in place. There are two floor brack- ets included with each unit. Use these as an alternative method of securing the fireplace.

IMPORTANT: Make sure fireplace is level before securing. If fireplace is not level it will not work properly.
