MATERIALS
REQUIRED
No electrical power supply is required for the gas
control to operate. A 120 Volt AC power cord is
hooked up to the fan. Plug the 3 wire cord into
a suitable receptacle.
Do not cut the ground
terminal off under any circumstances.
When
connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, current version of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor thermodisc which will prevent the
blower from operating until the unit reaches
the correct temperature.
VENTING
This appliance is designed to be attached to two
3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium fl ex running the full
length of the chimney. The fl ue length must be a
minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and a maximum

distances from roof. Periodically check that the
vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours
which the fl exible liner will accommodate. However,
keep the fl exible liner as straight as possible
,
avoid unnecessary bending.
