Note:
The BKT blower is for application into
direct-vent models only. When installing the BKT
thermostatically-controlled blower, you must first
secure the thermal switch bracket to the blower if
it has not already been factory installed.
1. Place the green ground wire with ring terminal
between the bottom hole on the thermal switch
bracket and the top ear hole on the blower as-
sembly. Insert the phillips screw into all three
pieces and tighten securely (see Figure 6).
2. Connect wire harness and power cord termi-
nals. Connect the jumper wire to the blower
motor terminal and the right side terminal of
the thermal switch. Connect one wire to the
left side of the thermal switch and one wire to
the other remaining blower motor terminal.
Note:
The power cord outer insulation sleeve may
have to be stripped slightly to allow enough wire
length to reach and make all connections. DO NOT
trim excessive length away. Just enable enough to
make all connections securely.

Note:
Speed control switches can not be installed
into filigree panels. Installing a wall switch or
rheostat in the wall outside of fireplace will elimi-
nate removing bottom louver to adjust operation
of blower.
1. Attach the power cord to the blower motor
by firmly pushing the two female terminals at
the end of the power cord onto the two spade
terminals on the blower motor (see Figure 5).
2. Attach green ground wire from power cord
to blower housing using screw provided (see
Figure 5). Tighten screws securely with a
phillips screwdriver.
3. Place the blower against the lower rear wall of
the firebox outer wrapper with the exhaust port
directed upward. Depending on your model,
you may have to carefully route the blower
assembly past the controls and brackets, and
position the blower inside the back opening.
The blower will be held in position against the
back wall by the magnets incorporated onto
the blower housing (see Figure 5).
4. Be certain that all wire terminals are securely at-
tached to terminals on blower motor and that the
screw retaining the green ground wire is tight.
