Optional Blower Installation - Napoleon GD36NTR Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

7.0 OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
electrical code in Canada or the ansi / nfpa 70 national electrical code in
the United States
If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a blower:
Route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the receptacle /
junction box. At this point, it must be strain relieved and insulated.
The three slots on the blower mounting bracket allow ease of adjustment when
attaching the blower. For a quiet running blower, do not allow the assembly to
sit on the firebox base. Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and
up against the threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower must be able to
be positioned entirely onto the pad.
To ease installation of the blower, remove the hinge screen and valve control door
(lower louvres) from the base of the fireplace.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and into the clip (C).
Secure to the threaded stud using the lock washer and wing nut provided.
Ensure that the blower does not touch the fireplace base or the firebox.
Attach the connectors from the black and white
wires to the thermodisc and secure the
thermal switch bracket to the securing stud at the
bottom left of the unit using a lock washer and
wing nut. Ensure that the thermal switch touches
the firebox wall.
Attach the connectors from the black and red
wires to the blower.
Attach and secure the variable speed switch
using the nut provided. Plug the harness
cord into the receptacle.The wire harness
provided in this kit is a universal harness.
When installed, ensure that any excess
wire is contained, preventing it from
making contact with moving or hot
objects.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approximately 10 minutes
after lighting the fireplace and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing
irreparable damage. Care must be taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its
compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
