C. Active Convection Technology

The fireplace appliance has been provided with an active convection blower. The blower is required to keep lower control chamber component temperatures at an ideal op- erating temperature. The blower also provides for more efficient use of appliance heat by assisting the convection air around the firebox and back into the room. A four inch flexible duct kit has been provided with the appliance. One end of the flex duct will connect to the fan bracket assembly located in the lower control chamber. See Figure 9.6, Detail A. The other end will terminate to an interior wall of the house. The intake grille panel provided with the appliance must be used. See Figure 9.2 and Figure 9.5.

Note: The blower is essential for keeping components and the appliance environment in safe operating temperatures.

Note: Refer to Section 12.C if the active convection blower is to be moved to the right side.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT terminate blower vent into an attic, crawl space, or the appliance chase. Vent must terminate on an adjacent, interior wall.
