Summer Fan Switch 

The summer fan switch allows the blower on the Fireplace Xtrordinair to be turned on when the 
fireplace is cool.  This allows the owner to turn the blower on during the summer to push cool, fresh 
air into the home for cooling purposes. 

Turn off the power to the Fireplace Xtrordinair by shutting off the breaker switch that supplies power 
to the fireplace. 

2

  Remove the old blower switch assembly by unscrewing the two screws that hold it in place (use a 

standard screwdriver).  Disconnect the two quick-connects that attach to the blower switch assembly. 

Behind the fan control plate are the two quick-connects that were detached in step 2 and another two 
that will attach to the switch on the summer fan switch assembly.  Attach the two male quick connects 
from rheostat on the summer fan switch to the two female quick-connects detached in step 2 
(orientation does not matter).  Attach the two female quick-connects that lead from the on/off switch 
on the summer fan switch to the two male quick-connects behind the faceplate of the fireplace 
(orientation does not matter).  Attach the summer fan switch to the fireplace by sliding the assembly 
in place and replacing the screws removed in step 2.

  Turn the power back on to the Fireplace Xtrordinair by turning the breaker back on.  Test the summer 

fan switch by turning the switch on and off with the fireplace cool.  The blower should turn on and off.
