3.  Basement fan 

(Drawing 5C)

For 

maximum ventilation power, it is possible to 
use the existing ash shaft (if any) as an air 
duct for a centrifugal fan installed in the 
basement.  In this case, it is important to 
allow a minimum 1" (25 mm) air space under 
the insert for the thermodisc wiring. The fan 
is shipped with a thermodisc (to be installed 
in the hearth, as indicated) and an acoustical 
case designed to receive an optional exterior 
air intake duct.
