FAN MAINTENANCE
If your fan requires maintenance or replace-
ment, access to the fan is through the plate on
the rear wall of the firebox. NOTE: the unit
MUST NOT be operated without the fan
access panel securely in place and cor-
rectly sealed.
If the fan is damaged or needs repair, it
shall be repaired by the manufacturer or
its service agent or similiarily qualified
person to avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT: These fans collect a lot of
dust from within your home. En-
sure you maintain these fan mo-
tors on a regular basis by vacuum-
ing out the fan squirrel cages,
around the motor, and around the
grills on the back of the stove.
Alternate Fan Access:
If the rear access cover is
accessible, it can be removed
to provide access to the fan.
IMPORTANT
Disconnect power supply
before servicing

To Remove F39 Fan:

install a new gasket before replacing the fan
access panel. Make sure the fan wires and the
ground wire are reattached.
Hint for pushing fan down onto pins - rub a bit
of dish soap on the grommet so it will slide more
easily onto the pin. Check to make sure the fan
is seated properly on the pins - try to move the
fan back and forth, there should be no noise,
if there is check that the grommets haven't
come loose.
