FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the fireplace unit you are installing. If you
have conflicting gas types, do not install fireplace. See retailer where
you purchased the fireplace for proper fireplace according to your gas
type or to purchase gas conversion kit (see 

Accessories

, page 39).

INSTALLING OPTIONAL BLOWER
ACCESSORIES

NOTICE: If installing blower in an existing fireplace
with gas connections, shut off gas supply and dis-
connect heater from gas supply. Contact a qualified
service person to do this.

 WARNING: If there is a duplex electrical outlet

installed in the right side of the bottom of the fireplace
base area, be sure that the electrical power to the outlet
is turned off before proceeding with blower installation.
Failure to do this may result in serious injury.

Model BK Installation

Follow all instructions provided in the blower accessory kit.
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 25).

2.

Attach green ground wire from power cord to blower housing
using screw provided (see Figure 25). Tighten screws securely.

3.

Place the blower against the lower rear wall of the firebox outer
wrapper with the exhaust port directed upward. The blower
will fit inside the back opening and be held in position against
the back wall by the magnets (see Figure 25).

4.

Be certain that all wire terminals are securely attached to ter-
minals on blower motor and that the screw retaining the green
ground wire is tight.

5.

Mount speed control box to switch bracket by placing the plastic
control shaft forward through the round opening in the switch
bracket (see Figure 26).

is tight against front panel. Place control knob provided on shaft.

7.

a.

If your firebox is installed as a freestanding unit with an
accessory mantel,

 determine whether the power cord will

exit the left side or the right side of the firebox. Route power
cord through exit hole and plug the power cord into a wall
receptacle near the firebox.

b.

If your firebox installation is recessed and/or pre-wired,

plug the power cord into the duplex outlet provided. Refer
to your firebox owner’s manual for instructions on wiring
the duplex outlet.

 CAUTION: Never touch the blower wheel while in

operation.
