Blower Accessory Information - Empire Comfort Systems VFPC20in33N-1 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

BLOWER ACCESSORY INFORMATION

The appliance, when installed must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
U.S. Installations, follow local codes and the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70.
Should this blower require servicing, the power supply
must be disconnected. For rewiring of any replacement
components, refer to Figures 22 and 23.
Operation
The fireplace insert is equipped with a blower that includes a fan
control switch, plus a rheostat (speed control).
The speed control knob is located in the lower compartment, at
the right side of the insert.
From a cold start, the temperature activated fan control switch
will normally take 5 to 20 minutes to heat up and energize the
blower.
Once the blower is energized, adjust the blower speed control as
desired, then replace the lower louver.
When the insert is shut off, it may take 30 to 40 minutes for the
heated unit to dissipate (cool down) enough for the blower to shut
off automatically.
NOTICE: The blower shut off times will vary on blower speed and
BTU input level setting control by adjustment of the HI/LO knob
located on the gas valve.
