Fan Operation
A fan kit is preinstalled in the FUSION fireplace insert. It includes two blowers mounted at the bottom
on either side of the firebox and a heat sensory thermodisk. An optional variable speed control can
be installed to adjust the speed of the fans. Do not install a substitute kit as this may result in
overheating and risk of fire.
a) Connect the speed control to an 115V properly grounded outlet that accepts three-pronged
plugs.
WARNING: Do not remove the grounding prong from the speed control.
b) Plug the power cord to the speed control.
c) Turn the speed control knob to the right until it clicks. The fans will start and stop
automatically in the presence and absence of heat respectively.
NOTE: Standard location of the power cord is on the left when facing the surround, but can be
switched to the opposite side. Please see Section 3.7 for instructions on how to reverse the location
of the power cord.
CAUTION: Do not route the power cord under the unit, on hot surfaces, and
on sharp edges.
Once the power cord has been plugged to the nearest 115V outlet, the fans will turn on and turn off
automatically. When the insert gets hot and the thermodisk reaches 95°F, the fans will turn on. The
average time it takes for the fans to activate is 30 to 45 minutes after starting a fire as explained in
this manual (Section 4.4). The fans will turn off once the insert has cooled down and the thermodisk
reaches 85°F. The speed of the fans can be adjusted with the optional variable speed control.
