The fi replace appliance has been provided with an active
convection blower. The blower is required to keep lower
control chamber component temperatures at an ideal op-
erating temperature. The blower also provides for more
effi cient use of appliance heat by assisting the convection
air around the fi rebox and back into the room. A fl exible
duct kit has been provided with the appliance. One end
of the fl ex duct will connect to the fan assembly located in
the lower control chamber and the other end will terminate
to an interior wall of the house. The intake vent cover
provided with the appliance must be used. See Figure
9.2 and Figure 9.3.
Note:
The blower is essential for keeping components
and the appliance environment in safe operating tem-
peratures.
