Note: To prevent short
circuit, white wire MUST
be connected to motor.
WARNING: Never touch the
blower wheel while in operation.
11. Install three plastic wire clips provided
into floor support bracket (see Figure
10, page 8). Secure by pushing clips
firmly into holes.
12. Attach green ground wire ring terminal
to floor support bracket using #10 sheet
metal grounding screw provided (see
Figure 10, page 8). Tighten screw firmly.
13. Attach all five remaining wiring terminals
to the appropriate switch or motor termi-
nal. Carefully note the correct color cod-
ing (see Figures 12 and 14). Push female
wire terminals fully onto male terminal.
14. Secure wires into the appropriate plas-
tic wire clips (see Figure 12).
15. Plug in blower power cord.
If your fireplace system is installed
as a freestanding unit with an acces-
sory mantel, install one plastic bush-
ing (provided) into the 1.5" hole in the
lower left side of the outer casing (see
Figure 13). Route power cord through
plastic bushing. Plug the power cord
into a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle near the firebox.
If your fireplace system installation is
recessed, install one plastic bushing pro-
vided into the 1.5" hole near the middle of
the left floor support bracket (see Figure
13). Route power cord through plastic
bushing. Plug the power cord into a prop-
erly installed duplex outlet. (If an outlet is
not available, the accessory model
GA3555 Outlet Kit with cover can be in-
stalled in your fireplace. This will supply
a convenient three-prong grounded elec-
trical outlet for your blower. Refer to the
installation manual provided with the
model GA3555 accessory for instructions
on wiring the duplex outlet.)
16. Check to make sure that the power cord
and wires are completely clear of the
blower wheel and that there are no other
foreign objects in blower wheel. Turn
blower on by pushing the selector switch
to the on position and check for opera-
tion. Turn blower off before continuing.

If any of the original wire as supplied with
the appliance must be replaced, it must be
replaced with 105˚C wire or it's equivalent.
WARNING: Failure to position

17. Peel off the backing paper and stick the
supplied wiring diagram decal on the
firebox bottom approximately 12" in
front of blower.
18. Replace log base assembly in fireplace.
Feed flexible gas supply line into fire-
place base area while replacing log base
assembly. Make sure the entire flexible
gas line is in fireplace base area.
Note:
If firebrick is installed, make sure
the back of the firebox bottom slides
under the rear panel of the firebrick. (lift
the firebrick up if necessary.)
IMPORTANT:
Do not pick up log base
assembly by burners. This could damage
burners. Only handle base by grates.

20. Install logs and fireplace screen per in-
structions in operating manual provided
with fireplace.
21. Connect gas supply to fireplace per in-
structions in operating manual provided

OPERATING THE BLOWER
Light your gas appliance with the blower
off. After about 5 minutes, turn the blower
on to deliver heated air at the top louvers.
The thermostatic ally-controlled blower fea-
tures a three position switch. The three set-
tings are: ON, OFF, and AUTO. In the ON
position, the blower will operate constantly.
In the OFF position, the blower will not
operate. In the AUTO position, the blower
will start when the thermostat senses a suf-
ficient increase in firebox temperature.
Note:
Your gas logs and thermostat blower
will not turn on and off at the same time. The
fireplace may run for several minutes before
the blower turns on. After the heater modu-
lates to the pilot position, the blower will
continue to run. The blower will shut off
after the firebox temperature decreases.
Note:
It is safe to operate fireplace with
blower turned off. However, the blower helps
distribute heated air from the fireplace.
Note:
Periodically check the louvers of the
firebox and remove any dust, dirt, or other
obstructions.
