Wiring
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 exter-
nal 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 servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note:
Junction box is to be located in the lower compartment of
the firebox and must be pre-wired at time of firebox instal-
lation for use with blower assembly. A standard ON/OFF
wall switch or optional SCV1 Variable Speed Control Kit
should be installed to activate power to the Junction Box
and provide power for the operation of the FBB5 Blower
assembly. It is recommended that installation of the wir-
ing be performed by a qualified electrician.
See Figures 12
and 13.
1. If installed, turn OFF gas supply to firebox/gas log.
2. If applicable, turn OFF electric supply to firebox.
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 ELECTRI-
CAL 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 (LAT-
EST EDITION).
To install the blower kit, access the junction box, or install a light
kit, remove the access cover plate and/or lower louvers or flush
panels as illustrated by figures 13 and 14.
A factory included junction box is located on the lower right
side of the firebox. Wiring must be fed through the 7/8" di-
ameter hole provided on the lower side of the firebox, and
secured to the outer wrap with the clamp provided. Leave
approximately 6” 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 at-
tached to the green (ground) screw.
See Figure 12.
Install the receptacle into the junction box as illustrated.
Attach cover plate. Place Junction Box so that it is approxi-
mately 8 to 12" away from the outer wrap wall. Secure wiring
at outer wrap of fireplace with wire clamp provided.
Attention:
If installed, do not damage gas inlet supply line
when blower assembly is inserted into firebox. In some cases,
removal of the gas inlet supply line may be necessary.
