CAUTION:

 The Magnum fireplace and its components have been tested for safety when installed in 

accordance with this installation manual.  IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to read all instructions 
carefully before and during the installation to assure safe operation and maximum performance of the 
unit.

WARNING:

 Do not pack the required air space with insulation or other materials. 

 

•

 

NOTE: 

The lower grill is recommended with every installation.  If it is not used, the same 150 square inches of open area 

is required.

 

 
 

INSTALLING BLOWERS 

 

Two different styles of blowers are available for Magnum Fireplaces.  A hearth mount 465 cfm squirrel-
cage design or an interior mount low profile design.  

NOTE:

 Low profile fans tend to create more 

noticeable air turbulence noise; therefore should be mounted underneath the fireplace toward the back of 
the fireplace. 

 

Always allow service access for periodic oiling or motor replacement

.
