Figure 1: Accessing Blower Compartment (Controls Not Shown for Clarity) B-vent,
Wood and Vent-Free Models
The BK and BKT blowers utilize the same
rotary squirrell cage type blower with velcro
attachment and variable speed control. The
BKT also includes an additional thermostati-
cally controlled feature for use on some direct-
vent models only.
The BK blower can be installed in wood burn-
ing, B-vent and vent-free model fireplaces.
Both the BK and BKT blowers can be installed
in direct-vent model fireplaces. Blowers are
installed by accessing the blower compart-
ment through the lower louver panel or, on
some models, through the control access
cover under the front refractory panel (see
Figure 1). The lower front louver panel can be
removed easily,
see removing louver panel
,
page 3 for instructions.
WARNING: If there is a duplex
electrical outlet installed in the
right side of the bottom of the
fireplace base area (see Figure
2), be sure that the electrical
power to the outlet is turned off
before proceeding with blower
installation. Failure to do this
may result in serious injury.
