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 24 and 25.

Operation

The fireplace insert is equipped with a factory installed 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.
