When installing the double outlet system, the hot air outlets can be installed 

in the same room as the fireplace, or one or both of the outlets can be 

installed in adjacent or upper rooms.  Installing the ducts at different eleva-

tions will tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher outlet 

(Figure 22).

Maintain at least 6-1/2” 

(160 mm) clearance from 

the outlet grill framing to 

a combustible ceiling, 

side wall or mantel.

Fireplace Blower

The fireplace comes equipped with a heat activated blower. It is located 

in the bottom  of the fireplace, towards the back. It uses 120 V and must 

be connected to the main electrical circuit by a qualified electrician. For 

connection, use the electrical box supplied with the unit located on the 

bottom right corner of the fireplace.
If you wish to adjust the blower speed, the variable speed control (VRUW) 

provided must be installed in line with the wiring. Again, use a qualified 

electrician for installation.
If the blower requires servicing,

1- Remove the doors and decorative facade.

2- Remove the screw located below the blower motor that holds it to the 

back of  fireplace.

3- Pull the blower out of the unit through the square hole located in the 

front bottom right corner.
