BLOWER AND SNAP DISC REPLACEMENT
NOTE: BLOWER DOES NOT REQUIRE LUBRICATION. HOWEVER, WE RECOMMEND
VACUUMING OR BRUSHING OFF DUST OR LINT FROM THE BLOWER BLADES AS
NEEDED.
This appliance is equipped with a 170 cfm convection blower that is automatically controlled by a tempera-
ture-sensing snap disc (145º). The blower has a slide speed control located on the right side of the panel
trim set.
The blower is located behind the rear access panel at the back of the firebox. It will be necessary to
remove the log set to remove the access panel. There are twelve screws that hold the panel in place. To
replace or access the blower or snap disc, follow the instructions below.
1. Disconnect power from the unit and turn off gas supply.
2.
Remove the log set (see log installation, pages 14-15, for reinstallation).
3.
Remove the rear log support, then remove the eight screws that hold the rear access panel/heat shield
assembly in place.
4.
To remove rear access panel/heat shield assembly, slightly tip forward and remove from firebox. The
snap disc is located on the back of this assembly. To replace snap disc, slide it out of its holder before
removing heat shield from the firebox. If the snap disc is all that needs to be replaced, reinstall assem-
bly and log set in reverse order. For blower removal, continue to the next step.
5.
Disconnect the blower wiring. This blower is held in place by rubber grommets that slide over two
metal studs welded to the bottom of the unit. Gently lift blower off mounting studs and remove.
6.
Reinstall in reverse order.
IMPORTANT!
The blower is equipped with a three prong (grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard, and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
