with prevailing codes.

screw from the left side of the outside firebox wall. Junc-
tion box was installed at the factory.

style strain relief connector. After connect-
ing the wires, route the wire leads through
this connector. Refer to the wiring diagram in

are clean and dry before mounting the blow-
er.
