Fireplace Blower

The fireplace is equipped with a blower. It is located in the bottom of the fireplace towards the back. It uses 120V and must be connected to the main electrical circuit by a qualified electrician prior to enclosing the fireplace.

For connection, use the electrical box supplied with the unit located on the bottom right side of the fireplace. To access the electrical box remove the four screws, pull out the plate and box and install the electrical receptacle.

A wall on/off switch must be installed to control the blower. An optional heat switch and variable speed control are available (see Page 22).

If installed, the heat activated switch must be connected to the blower main cable and the magnets must be stuck under the fireplaces firebox accessible through the side electrical box access plate.

If a repair must be done after the fireplace is installed an access plate is located under the bottom refractory. Remove the bottom refractory, unscrew the access plate, clean black cement sealing the access plate and do the repair.

Once the repair is done, it is mandatory to
