WARNING
ENSURE THE APPLIANCE IS COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION KEEP THE PACKAGING BAG AWAY FROM BABIES AND CHILDREN. DO
NOT USE IN CRIBS, BED, CARRIAGES OR PLAY PENS. THIS BAG IS NOT A TOY. KNOT BEFORE THROWING
AWAY.
This kit allows for warm air from an appliance to be vented
into two separate locations within the home. It can also be
used to direct hot air to the outside of the house, when used
in conjunction with a Hot Air Exhaust Terminal (part #GA-72).
This part may be ordered from your Wolf Steel authorized
dealer. Directing heat to the outside of the building will re-
duce overheating a specific room, allowing the appliance to
be enjoyed for a longer period of time. Where duct lengths
are greater than 5 feet or when passing through uninsulated
spaces such as an attic, it is recommended that the duct be
insulated. An appliance may use up to two Hot Air Distribu-
tion Kits.
WARNING:
If the information in these instructions is not fol-
lowed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
If this kit will be installed into the floor, a vent filter must be
used to prevent any debris from falling into the blower.
1.
Turn off any electrical power to
fireplace.
2.
Determine the desired location for
the hot air discharge on the finished
wall, keeping in mind that the blower
housing must be centred between
framing members. Cut a hole

“ x 4½“, as illustrated, on the
unfinished side of the opening.
Attach the blower housing to the
framing members ensuring that
the off-centred hole in the finished wall matches the fan
housing opening.
3.
Determine the location for the variable speed switch.
Attach an electrical box, not supplied, at this location.
4.
Remove the knockout or cover plate from the fireplace.
This could be located on the top, side or base of the unit,
depending on the model of the fireplace and the connec-
tion point you require.

Model NZ26:
when installing the kit on this model, the
collar assembly must be secured to the duct cover plate
located on the base of the unit only.
Model GD70:
when installing the kit on this model, using
the top heat shield cover plate, the flexible duct must
have a vertical rise only. Insulation and internal knock-outs
must be removed when installing the kit using the top heat
shield cover plate. When using the side heat shield cover
plate discharge installation may be above or below the
unit.
Secure the collar assembly over the opening using the
screws supplied.
Attach the venting to the collar assembly and secure using
one of the ½” screws. At the other end attach the flexible
venting to the duct adapter. Clamp both ends. The complete
hot air distribution kit requires zero clearance to combus-
tibles and should be adequately supported to avoid kinking.
5.
Run a 14/2 electrical cable from the fireplace junction
box to the wall mounted electical box and from the electri-
cal box to the blower assembly. In all cases it must be
strain relieved and insulated when connecting to all electri-
cal junction boxes. Connect wiring at the blower assembly
and the wall mounted electrical box.
6. For manual operations (non heat activated)
, wire the
blower housing electrical box directly to the power source
in series with the variable speed switch. See Method 1.
