DRAFT INDUCER – INSTALLATION     

Continued: 

 
Draft Inducer Electrical Outlet: 
 

The WinterGreen Furnace has a pre wired electrical outlet dedicated for the Draft Inducer and is located 
on the back of the furnace. (See the drawing below) The bottom outlet of the receptacle box is solely for 
the draft inducer and is controlled by the ON/OFF switch on the Control Panel. (See the Control Panel 
section of this manual) 
 
A suitable 3 prong electrical plug for the Draft Inducer that is rated for 15 amps is required for use with 
this outlet. The Draft Inducer does not come pre wired. Wiring must be in accordance with the Draft In-
ducer’s Manufacturer’s specifications and performed by a qualified person. 
 

It is recommended that this procedure be performed by a qualified electrician.
