tion blower assembly so that you align the notch on back of

push the blower assembly against firebox back. The blower
wheel must be centered with the back wall of the firebox. The
magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will suf-
ficiently hold blower assembly in place.

terminal to the open terminal on the blower power cord.
