Optional Blower Installation
IMPORTANT: IF THE OPTIONAL FORCED BLOWER KIT(PART # 129161) IS TO BE INSTALLED ON THE STOVE AT THE TIME OF THE INSTALLATION OR IN THE FUTURE, THE GAS SUPPLY LINE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AS CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AS POSSIBLE. USE OF A 90° DIRECTLY OFF THE VALVE WILL ALLOW FOR PROPER CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOWER. SEE FIG. 18.
Blower Kit Contents:
•Blower with mounting bracket
•Snapstat and Wiring Harness
•Hi/Low/Off Switch
•two 6mm bolts
Attach the Blower
1.Locate the two raised bosses on the bottom back of the stove. See Figure 19. The blower is mounted to the stove using these two threaded holes.
2.With the blower bracket and snapstat facing upward, align the two middle mounting holes on the bracket with the two threaded holes on the bottom back of the stove.
3.Use the two 6mm bolts to attach the blower to the stove. Be sure to tighten the bolts so that the blower is drawn upward and tight against the stove bottom.
4.The snapstat (thermodisc), attached to the blower bracket, should be inserted under the stove bottom to make contact with the firebox!
Connect the Blower Wiring Harness
1.Lift off the stove top plate.
2.Loosen (BUT DO NOT REMOVE) the 10 mm bolt holding the switch box to the side of the stove (left rear corner of the stove), and lift out the switch box.
3.Remove the “blank” switch from the box. (Hint: break the retaining tabs holding the switch in the box.)
4.Insert the new HI/OFF/LO switch into the box.
5.Connect the insulated wires from the blower to three leads on the HI/OFF/LO switch. BLACK wire to the HI position, WHITE wire to the OFF position, and the RED wire to the LO position. See Fig. 22.
6.Reattach the switch box to the side of the stove. Be sure all wires are unobstructed.
7.Replace top plate.
