GFK-210 Blower System

- Installation and Operating Instructions -

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The GFK-210 Blower System has been designed to circu- late room air through the fireplace to enhance heat output. The GFK-210 blower system operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz power. This is available through a receptacle in the factory installed power cord assembly. The power cord is located in the controls compartment of the fireplace.

A variable speed control is provided with the blower system to provide quiet forced air flow at the desired speeds. A temperature sensor switch, which automatically turns the blower ON/OFF, is also provided with this kit.

This blower is carefully engineered and must be installed only as specified. If you modify it or any of its components, you may cause a fire hazard and will void the WARRANTY. In addition, such action may void the coverage provided by the owner's home insurance.

CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualified electri- cian and shall be in compliance with local codes and with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-current (in the United States), or with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (in Canada).

CAUTION! DO NOT connect 110-120 VAC wiring to the gas control valve of the fireplace.
