INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL BLOWER:

IMPORTANT: IF THE OPTIONAL FORCED AIR 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° ELBOW DIRECTLY OFF THE VALVE WILL ALLOW FOR PROPER CLEARANCE FOR THE BLOWER.

Mounting the blower:

1.Locate the reflector sheild (28) on the back of the stove. Remove the cover plate from the reflector shield to allow the blower bracket to slide under the stove.

2.Locate the two raised bosses on the bottom plate (back) of the stove.

3.The blower is mounted to the stove using these two threaded holes.

4.With the blower bracket and sensor facing upward align the two middle mounting holes on the bracket with the two threaded holes on the bottom of the stove. See Figure 10.

5.Use the two 6mm bolts to attach the blower to the stove.

6.Be sure to tighten the bolts so that the blower is drawn upward and tight against the stove bottom.

7.The heat sensor (thermodisc), that is already attached to the blower bracket, should be inserted under the stove bottom and make contact with the firebox! See Figure 10.

Connecting the blower wiring harness:

1.Lift off the stove top plate.

2.Loosen (BUT DO NOT REMOVE) the 10mm 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 Figure 11.

6.Retighten the switch box to the side of the stove. Be sure all wires are unobstructed.

7.Replace top plate.

REMINDER:

The blower will ONLY come on when the switch is in the Hi or Lo position and ONLY when the sensor (thermodisc) is heated by the stove.

(Approximately 10 - 20 minutes after the stove

has been running).
