1.
Initial (cold) startup:
Leave fan off until your fire-
place is hot and a good coal bed is established,
approximately 30 minutes after fuel is lit.
2.
High Burn Setting:
The fan may be left on through-
out the burn.
3.
Medium or Medium High Burn Setting:
The fan
should be left off until a good burn is established,
then turned on a medium or high rate.
4.
Low Burn Setting:
The fan tends to cool the fire-
place. Leave fan off until the burn is well estab-
lished; then, if you wish, turn the fan on at a low
rate.

The Fan is equipped with a snap disc that will
turn the blower on and off depending on the tempera-
ture of the fireplace. If the fan is not coming on at
the desired time, flip the override switch to manual and
operate the fan as described above.
The override switch and the fan speed control are hard
wired at time of installation and installed in a standard
wall mount with junction box on the wall.
6. Burning Guidelines
The Heat-Zone accessory kit conveys warm air from
the fireplace through air duct(s) to remote locations in
the same room or other rooms of the building. One or
two Heat-Zone kits can be installed on the fireplace.
Follow the instructions that is supplied with the kit.
Installation of this kit MUST be performed by a qualified
service technician. If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your local Dealer before starting installation.
DO NOT install a damaged kit.
The Heat-Zone kit is carefully engineered and must be
installed only as specified. If you modify it or any of
its components, you will void the warranty and you
may possibly cause a fire hazard. Installation must be
done according to applicable local, state, provincial,
and/or national codes.
CAUTION:
ALL wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and
shall be in compliance with local codes and with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NF No. 70-current (in the
United States), or with the current CSC22.1 Canadian
Electric Code (inCanada).
