FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Model BKT Installation
Note: When installing BKT thermostati-
cally-controlled blower, you must first secure
thermal switch bracket to blower if it has not
already been factory installed.
1. Place green ground wire with ring ter
-
minal between bottom hole on thermal
switch bracket and top ear hole on blower
assembly. Insert Phillips screw into all
three pieces and tighten securely (see
Figure 28).
2. Connect wire harness and power cord
terminals. Connect blue jumper wire to
blower motor terminal and right side termi
-
nal of thermal switch. Connect black wire
to left side of thermal switch and white
wire to 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 blower against lower rear wall of
firebox outer wrapper with exhaust port di
-
rected upward and thermodisc positioned
up near fireplace bottom. Thermodisc
must be oriented near fireplace bottom
as shown in Figure 28 in order to sense
temperature and properly operate. Blower
will be held in position against back wall
by magnets incorporated onto blower
housing (see Figure 28).
4. Be certain that all wire terminals are
securely attached to terminals on blower
motor and thermal switch and that screw
for thermodisc bracket and 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
26, 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
26, page 19).
