Blower Requirements

This fireplace utilizes an external blower and blower duct to direct air to the fireplace. The air is
heated inside the fireplace and pushed out the vents along the faceplate, heating the home. The
blower may be located to draw air from the exterior (recommended) or interior of the home.
¥
Do not draw air from confined areas or from a garage or area containing fumes or emissions.
+ We strongly recommend drawing air from an external location so the blower creates positive
pressure inside the home, reducing cold air infiltration.
? The blower may be installed to draw air from a crawl space or attic if approved by local building
codes. NOTE: certain codes require a fire curtain in these cases.
Blower Duct Connection
? The shorter the blower duct, the greater the air flow and heat transfer will be.
¥
Connect the blower duct to one of the three locations on the fireplace (right side, left side, or bottom).
Remove the appropriate blower cover plate by prying it loose with a flat head screwdriver. Insert the
starter section into the hole and bend the flanges outwards, locking the starter section in place.

The blower, if located on an external wall,
should be weatherproofed. Remove the
blower cover and install the blower. Apply
caulk around the perimeter of the blower
housing where it contacts the external wall
(apply sparingly). Replace the blower cover.
