ATTENTION: The connection to an existing duct must follow the direction of the furnace’s airflow and
be equipped with a back draft damper. (Figure #21)
Both alternatives require electrical power. Make sure all electrical connections are made in the correct
order and comply with local regulations as well as the applicable National Building Code standards. Install the
rheostat close to the fireplace so it can be easily closed whenever you must open the fireplace doors. If the fan is
running, the smoke will be drawn out through the doors instead of up the chimney.
ATTENTION: Keep the fireplace fan’s electrical circuitry separate from the central blower’s circuitry.
One must not control the other and vice versa.
