OPTIONAL FAN KIT - FK12 and FK24
FK24 Fan Assembly
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the
circulation of the heating air.
The FK24 fan kit allows variable speed control of the
circulation fan and also incorporates a heat sensor in the
circuit.
Specifications
115 Volt / 60 Hz / 56 Watts
Maintenance
The fan itself does not require regular maintenance,
however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding
area is required.
Check the area under the control door (lower louvre
assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum
this area at least once a month during the operating
season.
Installation
The fan assembly and other components are supplied
fully wired eliminating the need for a licensed electrician
to carry out the installation
If hard wiring the fan using Method B (following) we
strongly recommend the use of a licensed electrician.
1. Open the lower Louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan
& bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines
to locate the unit onto the screw studs on the back of
the fireplace
2. Install the thermal sensor under the bottom of the
firebox, locating it over the two 10 mm studs and
secure it with nuts.
3. Locate the fan speed control unit. This can be fitted
behind the lower louvre assembly as in Fig. 52 or
located remotely in a conveniently located wall
mounted electrical box. Remote location of the
speed control will require suitable extension of the
component wiring.
4. The power supply may be connected in 2 ways:
Method A
Route the 6' lead fitted to the unit to a conveniently
located wall socket.
Method B
The EB1 receptacle box (Pt. # ZA1200) may be hard
wired into the house supply. The fan lead is then
plugged into the EB1 box.

FK12
This auxiliary fan system increases the efficiency of the
circulation of the heating air.
The FK12 Fan Assembly is a fixed speed fan system
and does not allow for variable speed control. It does
not use the speed control unit or the heat sensor used in
the FK24 Kit.
Specifications
115 Volts / 60 Hz / 56 Watts.
Maintenance
The fan itself does not require regular maintenance,
however periodic cleaning of the fan and the surrounding
area is required.
Check the area under the control door (lower louvre
assembly) and in front of the fan and wipe or vacuum
this area at least once a month during the operating
season.
Installation
The fan assembly is supplied fully wired eliminating the
need for a licensed electrician to carry out the installation
1. Open the lower Louvre assembly. Maneuver the fan
& bracket assembly around the gas valve and lines
to locate the unit against the back wall of the
appliance, resting on the base.
2. With the protective cover removed from the self-
adhesive 'Velcro' strips apply mild pressure to the
fan & bracket unit to secure the strips to the metal
panels. No further securing is required.
3. Power to the fan can be supplied by plugging the
supplied lead into a conveniently located wall socket
or by using a hard-wired EB1 connector box.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The fireplace, 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 Electric Code.
For U.S.A. installations follow the local codes and
the national electrical code ANSI/NFPA No 70.
Should this fan require servicing or repair the
power supply must be disconnected. For rewiring
of any replacement parts see Fig. 51
Any electrical re-wiring of this fan must be done
by a licensed electrician.
Method A (Not using EB1, Fig. 54)
1. Connect the ground wire of the power supply line to
the ground stud located on the base of the firebox.
2. Connect the black wire of the supply line to either
terminal of the speed control unit.
3. The second terminal of the speed control unit is
attached to either terminal of the thermal sensor.
4. The second terminal of the thermal sensor is
connected to either terminal of the fan motor.
5. The second fan motor terminal is connected to the
white wire of the supply line.
