WIRING

CAUTION

All  wiring  should  be  done  by  a  qualified  electrician  and 

shall be in compliance with all local, city and state building 

codes. Before making the electrical connection, make sure 

that  main  power  supply  is  disconnected.  The  appliance, 

when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance 

with  local  codes,  with  the  National  Electrical  Code 

ANSI/

NFPA

 70 (Latest Edition).

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in 

accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, 

with the

 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

, if an external 

electrical source is utilized. 

This  appliance  is  equipped  with 

a  three-prong  [grounding]  plug  for  your  protection  against 

shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly 

grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the 

grounding prong from this plug. 

For an ungrounded receptacle, 

an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can be 

purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire 

connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire com-

pleting the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the 

adapter and be electrically grounded.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. 

Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. 

Verify proper operation after servicing.

NOTICE:

 

The junction box must be pre-wired at time of fireplace 

installation for use with blower assembly. A standard wall ON/OFF 

wall switch or optional SCV1 Variable Speed Control Kit should be 

installed to activate power to the fireplace, and control the operation 

of the FBB5 Blower assembly. It is recommended that installation 

of the wiring be performed by a qualified electrician.
