4. Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of firebox. Po
-
sition blower assembly so that you align the notch on back
of blower assembly with the center screw on side/end panel,
then push the blower assembly against firebox outer panel.
the blower wheel must be centered with the side/end wall of
the firebox. The magnets on the back and bottom of blower
assembly will sufficiently hold blower assembly in place.
See
figure 16.
5. once the blower assembly is in position, locate the plug but-
ton in the top corner of the firebox. Remove the plug with a
standard screwdriver and discard plug.
6. Next, find the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed
the wires through the hole at the top of the firebox. Feed the
wires over the firebox top and down between the firebox side
and outer wrap then, secure the fan control switch with (2) #6
screws provided.
See figure 15.
7. The fan control wires will slide down between the firebox
and outer wrap near the blower assembly.
See figure 16
.
8. one fan control wire will have a 1/4” female terminal that
must be attached to the open terminal on the blower motor.
See figure 19, connection A.
9. the other fan control wire has a 1/4” male terminal. attach
this terminal to the open terminal on the blower power cord.
See figure 19, connection b
10. Route the wires away from moving parts of the blower as-
sembly and retain wires together near the blower motor using
the plastic purse clip provided.
11. to complete the installation, plug the power cord into the
junction box receptacle previously installed in the bottom of
the firebox.
See figures 16 and 18.
12. once all connections are made electrically, it is recommend-
ed that you test the blower fan control operation by turning
on power to the blower (caution: 110 Volt). then apply heat
to the fan control switch inside the firebox with a lighter or
match until blower is activated. once blower is activated,
check for proper operation. Do not place hands near blower
assembly or other wiring while power is on.
13. Replace blower access plate and louvers or flush panels.
See
figures 13 and 14.
14. this completes the installation of the optional FBB5 Blower
kit accessory.
Note:
this blower is equipped with a heat activated fan control
switch. Blower will operate when the firebox warms up,
and will turn off automatically when the firebox cools
down. the time will vary for the activation of the fan con-
trol switch depending on several factors including firebox/
log set sizing, BtU input variables, and log set position-
ing. generally, it may take from 5 to 20 minutes to activate
blower/fan control from a cold start.
