A factory installed junction box is located on the lower right side of 

the fireplace. Wiring must be fed to the junction box and attached 

to the receptacle that is provided. From right side of the fireplace, 

remove the screw securing the junction box assembly. Leave ap-

proximately 6 inches of wire in the junction box for connection.

Attach black wire to one side of the receptacle and white wire to 

opposite side of receptacle. The ground wire should be attached 

to the green (ground) screw.

ATTENTION:

 If installed, do not damage gas inlet supply line 

when blower assembly is inserted into firebox. In some cases, re

-

moval the gas inlet supply line may be necessary.

Figure 5

3.  Insert  blower  assembly  into  interior,  bottom  of  firebox  for 

Deluxe and Premium models and rear for Select models. 

Position blower assembly so that you align the notch on 

back  of  blower  assembly  with  the  center  screw  on  firebox 

back,  then  push  the  blower  assembly  against  firebox  back. 

The blower wheel must be centered with the back wall of 

the firebox. The magnets on the back and bottom of blower 

assembly will sufficiently hold blower assembly in place.

4.  Once the blower assembly is in position, use a screwdriver to 

bend the upper right tab on the firebox away.

5. 

Next, find the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed the 

wires through the hole at the top of the firebox, and secure the 

fan control switch with the two screws provided. 

See Figure 6.
