FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Continued
Model BKT Installation
Note:
The BKT blower is for application into
direct-vent models only. When installing the
BKT thermostatically-controlled blower, you
must first secure the wiring connections from
the thermal switch to the blower (if it has not
already been factory installed).
1. Attach green ground wire from power cord
to blower housing using screw provided
(see Figure 29) Tighten screws securely
with a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Connect wire harness and power cord
terminals. Connect the jumper wire to
the blower motor terminal to the terminal
of the thermal switch. Connect one wire
of the thermal switch and one wire to the
other remaining blower motor terminal.
Note: Power cord outer insulation sleeve may
have to be stripped slightly to allow enough
wire length to reach and make all connec-
tions. DO NOT trim excessive length away.
Enable just enough to make all connections
securely.
3. Place the blower against the lower rear
wall of the firebox outer wrapper with
the exhaust port directed upward. Attach
Thermal disc magnetic bracket to the bot
-
tom of the firebox sub-floor. The thermo
-
disc must be oriented near the fireplace
bottom as shown in Figure 29, in order to
sense temperature and properly operate.
The blower will be held in position against
the back wall by the magnets incorporated
onto the blower housing (see Figure 29).
4. Be certain that all wire terminals are
securely attached to terminals on blower
motor and that the screw retaining the
green ground wire is tight.
5. Mount speed control box against mount
-
ing plate provided in lower fireplace
cavity by placing plastic control shaft
forward through round hole (see Figure
27, page 19).
6. While supporting speed control, secure
control shaft with lock nut by pushing and
turning lock nut with pliers clockwise until
it is tight against mounting plate. Place
provided control knob on shaft (see Figure
27, page 19).
