To operate this hi-efficiency fireplace as a basic system, the 

blower is not required, however, to enhance its efficiency a 

blower is recommended.

A blower kit (NZ62)

 

 may be purchased

 

with the op-

tion of adding up to one additional blower. These blowers 

are installed in the bottom of the unit and are used to direct 

the heat into the room where the fireplace is located. The 

blowers are controlled, by a variable speed switch, located 

inside the fireplace. 

A thermostAtic Air coNtrol (NZ690kt)

 

 

may be 

used for constant heat,

 

complete with automatic damper and 

thermostat, wall mounted in the room containing the fireplace, 

and at least 

10 feet (minimum) from the fireplace

A hot Air grAvity veNt system (NZ220)

 

 

may be 

used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either 

above, or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way 

of vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While 

this system may be used in conjunction with the optional 

blowers, it could reduce the flow of hot air being distributed 

to additional rooms. It must be experimented with and the 

dampers adjusted manually to suit your requirements. This 

may take a few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no 

longer  be  required  as  is  normally  experienced  with  your 

central heating system registers. 

The  heat  shield  cover  plate  must  be  removed  before 

installing the gravity vent. The hot air vent must be in-

stalled in an upward direction! NEVER install in a down-

ward direction

. Figure 6. Th

e hot air gravity vent system 

is not to be connected to a central heating system (for 

this application use the NZ62CH).  This option may not 

be used in mobile homes. 

No more than 

two

 hot air gravity vents can be installed to 

fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet. 

All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.

A ceNtrAl heAtiNg system (NZ62ch) 

  may  be 

used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit. A wall mounted 

thermostat  located  in  the  room  to  be  heated  controls  the 

blower supplying warm air from the room containing the fire

-

place. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat blower 

may safely be tied into this system to reduce the amount of 

new ducting required.  Consult with a heating specialist to 

ensure a proper duct layout for your home. If the NZ62CH 

is installed at the bottom of the unit, it could introduce a cool 

draft into the room that the fireplace is installed in. 

A hot Air distributioN kit (gA-566)

 

 may be used 

to distribute warm air from the fireplace base (only) into a 

separate location in the home.

These options may be incorporated with one another. If the 

optional blowers are to be installed, make provision during 

framing to route a 110 volt power line to the fireplace. Detailed 

installation instructions are included with each venting kit.
