BLOWER OPERATION AND WIRING
WARNING
:
The Power Cord supplied with this appliance must be connected to a 3-prong grounded LIVE out-
let. No switches, Light Dimmers or Fan Speed Control Devices are allowed within the same electric circuit as
this appliance. Connect only to a LIVE outlet that is not controlled by any other switching device.
Dual blowers are provided as standard equipment with this FV-33i Insert. The dual blowers have an air output rating of
210 CFM (in free air). This Insert is designed to operate with the blowers turned OFF or ON. Turning the blower on
increases the overall efficiency of this fireplace and aids in distributing and circulating heat to the room this Insert is
installed in.
BLOWER BREAK-IN PERIOD
: The integrated blowers in this Insert may exhibit some bearing noise and electrical
static noise during the first few hours of operation. This is normal during the break-in period. It is recommended that
following the Paint Curing Cycle, the blowers be run at their maximum speed for two 3-hour periods. The burner flames
may be on or off during these cycles. The blowers in a few inserts may take longer to break-in and may require addi-
tional operation time before all extraneous noise is eliminated. Please allow adequate operational time for the blowers
to break-in before you contact your dealer for service.
BLOWER OPERATION
The remote control system supplied with this appliance can turn the blowers ON or OFF and regulate the speed of the
blowers in six (6) steps.
NOTE: In the Normal Thermostat Mode and the SMART Mode, there will be a time delay in blower operation during
"heat-up" (5 minutes) and extended blower operation during "cool-down" of unit (12-1/2 minutes).
The blowers are ideal for owners who wish to maximize the heating capacity and efficiency of Mendota Gas Fireplaces.
The blowers greatly increase total heating capacity by forcefully moving hot air away from the fireplace and mantel area
and out into the room. The blowers increase the overall efficiency of the Mendota units by up to 5%.
WARNING:
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN
CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
