Dutchwest Natural Vent Gas Heater
Install the Optional Fan
1.The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheostat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower assembly 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) approximately 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.

Use needle nose pliers to remove the black plastic grommet from the bracket. Discard the bracket. Connect the two wires to the two snapstat extension leads provided with the parts bag (wires with the sleeve).

6.Assemble the inner shroud to the outer shroud using previously removed screws.
7.Position the fan assembly so the ducts slide between the inner and outer shroud. The inner shroud should engage with the two slots in the ends of the bracket so the bracket and shroud are interlocked. (Fig. 11) Secure the bracket with the four sheet metal screws provided in the finish bag.
8.Install the snapstat by loosening the front screw on the inner side of the duct. (Fig. 12) Slide the snapstat under the head of the screw and tighten. Connect the leads to the snapstat. Make sure the snapstat assembly is mounted straight front to back.
