1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheo-
stat Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 10) The
Blower Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the
stove, and the Rheostat mounts to the left side of
the valve. The assembly includes a 'snapstat' which
automatically turns the fan On (or Off) above (or
below) approximately 109˚F. The Rheostat also pro-
vides a range of fan speed settings from Off (which
overrides the snapstat function) to High. Unpack and
inspect the Blower assembly. Confirm that the fan
spins freely.
