OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Blower Kits
The FBK-100 Blower Kits are used when
a wall-mounted ON/OFF blower switch is
desired, and the FBK-200 Blower Kits are
used when a wall-mounted variable speed
blower control (rheostat) is desired. A Junction
Box / Electrical Kit is also required to install
these kits (purchased separately - see
Page 16
).
The blower is installed beneath the firebox.
Room air is drawn in through the side slots
of the fireplace, heated as it passes across the
firebox, and discharged through the upper area
of the firebox opening.
The installation instructions for installing these
blower kits are on
Pages 12 through 14
. Also
see the installation instructions provided with
the blower kits (Form # 750028M). For electrical
requirements, refer to
Figures 12, 13 and 14.
If the blower kit is to be installed at the time of
installation or at a later date, the main power
supply must be installed at the time of instal-
lation.
This will require that the electrical
connections must be made BEFORE the firebox
is framed and enclosed in the finished walls.
Route a 3-wire, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 1 ph power
supply and connect to electrical receptacle wires
and wall switch or rheostat.

IMPORTANT
The Ground Lead must be connected
to the green screw (located on the
junction box). Failure to do this
could result in an electrical short or
shock injury.
The appliance must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local
codes, the national electrical code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition. (In
Canada, the current CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code).
CAUTION
Electrical connections should
only be performed by a qualified,
licensed electrician. Main power
must be off when connecting to
main electrical power supply or
performing service.
