Fan Kit Installation
A fan kit is supplied with the Galaxy fireplace. It includes
two 125 cfm blowers fixed on a bracket. A variable speed
control and a heat sensory thermodisk also come standard
with the Galaxy. Do not install a substitute kit as this may
result in overheating and risk of fire. The location of the fan
kit is shown in figure 21.
To install the fan kit:
1.
Remove the surround.
2.
Make the electrical connections (see figure 22). The
electric power must be convenient place.
3.
Slide the fan kit behind the ashtray until both holes on
the fan kit bracket fit with both screws welded to the
base support. Secure the fan kit in place with wing nuts.
Note: All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician.
Once all the appropriate connections have been made, the fans should turn on and turn off automatically. When the fireplace
gets hot and the thermodisk reaches 95°F, the fans will turn on. The average time it takes for the fans to activate is 30 to 45
minutes after starting a fire the recommended way as explained in section 2.4. The fans will turn off once the fireplace has
cooled down and the thermodisk is 85°F. The speed of the fans can be adjusted with the variable speed control mounted on
the wall. The Galaxy can also be used with the fans turned off or in the occurrence of a power failure.

Chimney Installation
The use of a 6” listed UL 103/ULC S629 approved chimney is required.
.
NOTE:
The fireplace can be installed with a 7 inch chimney as long as there is a 6 inch to 7 inch adaptor installed. The
adaptor must be of the same chimney brand. Do not mix chimney parts of different brands.
WARNING: When connecting the fireplace to an existing chimney, inspect thoroughly the installation of the
existing chimney, verify that the installation conforms to the chimney manufacturer’s requirements and the chimney is in
good condition.
NOTE: In most cases, it is preferable to replace the existing chimney. Do not take unnecessary risks.
WARNING: Always respect the minimum clearances to combustibles. A 2 inch minimum clearance is required for
prefabricated chimneys.
