4.  Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of firebox. Posi

-

tion blower assembly so that you align the notch on back of 

blower assembly with the center screw on firebox back, then 

push the blower assembly against firebox back. The blower 

wheel must be centered with the back wall of the firebox. The 

magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will suf-

ficiently hold blower assembly in place.

Note: 

For field installation of blower assembly, it may be easier to 

remove rear cover panel to install blower. this eliminates 

the need to remove brick liner panels, but the blower would 

have  to  be  installed  prior  to  installing  the  firebox  into  a 

wall or chase. 

See Figure 15.

5.  once the blower assembly is in position, locate the plug but-

ton in the top right rear corner of the firebox. Remove the 

plug with a standard screwdriver and discard plug.

6.  Next, find the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed the 

wires through the hole at the top of the firebox, and secure the 

fan control switch with (2) #6 screws provided. 

See Figure 

16.

7.  The fan control wires will slide down between the firebox 

and outer wrap near the blower assembly. 

See Figure 16

.

8.  one fan control wire will have a 1/4” female terminal that 

must be attached to the open terminal on the blower motor. 

See Figure 19, connection A.

9.  the other fan control wire has a 1/4” male terminal. attach 

this terminal to the open terminal on the blower power cord. 

See Figure 19, connection B

10.  Route the wires away from moving parts of the blower as-

sembly and retain wires together near the blower motor using 

the plastic purse clip provided.

11.  to  complete  the  installation,  plug  the  power  cord  into  the 

junction box receptacle at the right rear corner of the firebox 

outer wrap. 

See Figure 17.

12.  if room permits, the power cord can be located from the out-

side of the unit looking through the junction box access hole 

(with the junction box removed), then plug up the power cord 

before reinstalling the pre-wired junction box.

13.  once all connections are made electrically, it is recommend-

ed that you test the blower fan control operation by turning 

on power to the blower (caution: 110 Volt). then apply heat 

to the fan control switch inside the firebox with a lighter or 

match  until  blower  is  activated.  once  blower  is  activated, 

check for proper operation. Do not place hands near blower 

assembly or other wiring while power is on.

14.  Replace blower access plate and/or reinstall the brick liner 

panels if provided.

15.  this completes the installation of the optional FBB5 Blower 

kit accessory.

Note: 

this blower is equipped with a heat activated fan control 

switch. Blower will operate when the firebox warms up, 

and  will  turn  off  automatically  when  the  firebox  cools 

down.

REAR COVER PANEL MAY BE

REMOVED TO INSTALL BLOWER

REINSTALL COVER AFTER

BLOWER IS INSTALLED
