OPTIONAL FAN KIT - FK12 and FK24
FK24 Fan Assembly
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the circulation of the heating air.
The FK24 fan kit allows variable speed control of the circulation fan and also incorporates a heat sensor in the circuit.
Specifications
115 Volt / 60 Hz / 56 Watts
Maintenance
The fan itself does not require regular maintenance, however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding area is required.
Check the area under the control door (lower louvre assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum this area at least once a month during the operating season.
Installation
The fan assembly and other components are supplied fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation
If hard wiring the fan using Method B (following) we strongly recommend the use of a licensed electrician.
1.Open the lower Louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan & bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines to locate the unit onto the screw studs on the back of the fireplace
2.Install the thermal sensor under the bottom of the firebox, locating it over the two 10 mm studs and secure it with nuts.
3.Locate the fan speed control unit. This can be fitted behind the lower louvre assembly as in Fig. 52 or located remotely in a conveniently located wall mounted electrical box. Remote location of the speed control will require suitable extension of the component wiring.
4.The power supply may be connected in 2 ways:
Method A
Route the 6' lead fitted to the unit to a conveniently located wall socket.
Method B
The EB1 receptacle box (Pt. # ZA1200) may be hard wired into the house supply. The fan lead is then plugged into the EB1 box.

FK12
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the circulation of the heating air.
The FK12 Fan Assembly is a fixed speed fan system and does not allow for variable speed control. It does not use the speed control unit or the heat sensor used in the FK24 Kit.
Specifications
115 Volts / 60 Hz / 56 Watts.
Maintenance
The fan itself does not require regular maintenance, however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding area is required.
Check the area under the control door (lower louvre assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum this area at least once a month during the operating season.
Installation
The fan assembly is supplied fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation
1.Open the lower Louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan & bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines to locate the unit against the back wall of the appliance, resting on the base.
2.With the protective cover removed from the self- adhesive ‘Velcro’ strips apply mild pressure to the fan & bracket unit to secure the strips to the metal panels. No further securing is required.
3.Power to the fan can be supplied by plugging the supplied lead into a conveniently located wall socket or by using a
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The fireplace, when installed, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code.
For U.S.A. installations follow the local codes and the national electrical code ANSI/NFPA No 70.
Should this fan require servicing or repair the power supply must be disconnected. For rewiring of any replacement parts see Fig. 51
Any electrical
Method A (Not using EB1, Fig. 54)
1.Connect the ground wire of the power supply line to the ground stud located on the base of the firebox.
2.Connect the black wire of the supply line to either terminal of the speed control unit.
3.The second terminal of the speed control unit is attached to either terminal of the thermal sensor.
4.The second terminal of the thermal sensor is connected to either terminal of the fan motor.
5.The second fan motor terminal is connected to the white wire of the supply line.
