OpTIONAL fBB5 BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Attention: Install blower assembly before connecting gas in-
let supply line.
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if an exter-
nal electrical source is utilized. This appliance 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. For an ungrounded receptacle,
an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can
be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire
connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire com-
pleting the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into
the adapter and be electrically grounded.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-
ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note: Junction box is to be located in the lower compartment of
the fireplace and must be pre-wired at time of fireplace in-
stallation for use with blower assembly. A standard ON/
OFF wall switch or SCV-1 variable speed control kit should
be installed to activate power to the Junction Box and pro-
vide power for the operation of the blower assembly. It is
recommended that installation of the wiring be performed
by a qualified electrician. See Figures 20 and 21.
