WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING A DUAL SWITCH / RECEPTACLE
In order to install both the optional Blower and Accent Light ac-
cessories, it will be necessary to install the junction box so that
the Duplex Receptacle wiring is split. This will allow each side of
the receptacle to operate independently off separate wall switches.
See diagram below.
Note:
To operate the FBB5 Blower accessory with a variable
speed control, the SCV1 Variable Speed Control Kit should be in-
stalled to control the power to one side of the duplex receptacle.

1. To wire Junction Box Receptacle, remove the tab on the side
of the receptacle (hot side) to split receptacle. This will be
required to separate blower and Accent Light circuits.
2. Power for switched and live sides of Duplex Receptacle must
come from the same power source. (One circuit breaker on
main panel must switch all power off.)
3. From the wall box to the fireplace a 3-wire conductor with
ground is recommended, however (2) two-wire conductors
with grounds may be used in place of a 3-wire conductor with
a ground if the black wires from the Accent Light and blower
accessories are identified.
4. Two wall switches may be used to activate the two receptacle
plugs independently.
Note:
Wiring to the Junction Box should be run through the 7/8"
diameter access hole located on one of the sides of the fireplace
outer wall. A Romex type connector is provided and should be
used to protect and restrain the wiring where it passes through
the fireplace outer wall. The Junction Box should be positioned in
the lower compartment of the fireplace/firebox so that it does not
interfere with moving parts of the blower assembly. The Junction
Box incorporates magnets on the bottom side to retain and reduce
the chance of movement or vibration during blower operation.
Note:
If only the blower option is to be installed, wiring may be
performed as described and illustrated in the following Blower
Installation section.
An Accent Light Kit model LK2 is available for installation in
the top of the firebox. Providing the junction box has been pre-
wired with separate circuits as described in the "Wiring for a dual
switch/receptacle" section, the Accent Light kit may be installed
at any time on louvered models, or on flush panel models prior to
the upper panels being covered with finishing materials.
Follow the instructions provided with the LK2 Accent Light kit
for proper installation in the fireplace/firebox.
