Blower Installation
BEFORE YOU BEGIN...A FEW BASIC RULES
1. Check to ensure that electrical service has been
provided to the junction box located in the bottom
chamber of the firebox.
2. Check local building codes before installation of the
firebox and the blower kit.
3. All wiring must be installed and/or inspected as
necessary to comply with the local authority having
jurisdiction.
4. The circuit breaker controlling the power supply to
the pre-wired junction box in the appliance must be
in the “OFF” position before beginning installation of
the blower.
5. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or - in the
absence of local codes - with the National Electri-
cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1.
Read all the installation instructions for the appli-
cable appliance before beginning the installation of
the blower.
