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.
