Locate the recessed knockout in one of the firebrick sidewall liners (see Figure 8 on page 11 and Figure 9). Firmly tap the center of the knockout with a chisel until it is released. Carefully chisel the rough edges of the hole you have made to smooth edges. This hole will line up with the hole in the outer casing.

Notice: The firebox identification label (including model num- ber, serial number, clearances, etc.) is located in the right side screen pocket area on the front of the firebox. See Figure 19, page 16.

Note: Appearance of firebox may vary depending on model.

Notice: If a log set is installed in the firebox, disconnect log set from gas supply and remove from firebox. Contact a qualified service person to do this.

There are two (2) blower accessory options for use in the vent-free fireboxes. Blower accessory models are BK and BK3. Model BK is a rotary squirrel cage type blower with magnetic attachment and variable speed control. The BK3 is a triple fan blower system with an on/ off rocker switch.

The blower must be installed by removing the lower face panel and placing blower into its proper mounting position.

Decide which way you intend to gain access into the bottom rear of the firebox to install the blower accessory. The lower front panel can be removed easily by snapping out the front with a flat blade screwdriver. Use caution not to scratch any surfaces. Models with louvered front panels can also be removed by inserting fingertips between slots and gently pulling out. DO NOT FORCE. The panels are actually held in place by means of a retention dimple embossed on the edge of removable panels.

WARNING:Ifthereisaduplex electrical outlet installed in the right side of the bottom of the fireplace base area (see Figure 10), be sure that the electrical power to the outlet is turned off before proceeding with blower installation. Failure to do this may result in serious injury.
