- Installation and Operating Instructions -

Note: 

For ease of installation install Fan Kit prior to 

gas  line installation.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The GFK-160T Blower has been designed to circulate 
room air through the fi replace to enhance heat output. The 
GFK-160T blower system operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz 
power. This is available through a receptacle in the factory 
installed junction box. The junction box is located in the 
controls compartment of the fi replace. 

A variable speed control is provided with the blower system 
to provide quiet forced air fl ow at the desired speeds. A 
temperature sensor switch, which automatically turns the 
blower ON/OFF, is also provided with this kit.

2.0  CHECK CONTENTS OF SHIPPING CARTON

Compare CONTENTS OF CARTON in Figure 1 with the 
actual parts received. If any parts are missing or damaged, 
contact your dealer before starting installation. Do not install 
a damaged blower kit.
