Optional Fan Installation - Quadra-Fire TOPAZ-MBK-IPI Installation Manual

Optional Fan Installation

The GFK-160A fan has been designed to circulate room air
through the appliance to enhance heat output.
The GFK-160A system operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz power.
This is available through a receptacle in the factory installed
junction box on the underside of the appliance.
Compare CONTENTS OF CARTON with the actual parts
received. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your
dealer before starting installation.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Damaged parts could impair safe
operation. DO NOT install damaged components.
The fan shall be installed by a qualified installer in accordance
with the installation instructions included with the fan kit.
Use the instructions below in regards to location of the fan
on the stove. For all other information, refer to instructions
included with the fan kit.
1. From the rear of the appliance, slide the fan into the
fan housing with the magnetic strips down and the rear
discharge openings towards the front of the stove. (Note:
The magnetic strips should straddle the gas line.) Bend
tabs upward approximately 45 degrees. See Figure 8.3.
It may be necessary to remove the on/off switch wires
from the zip tie that holds the gas line as well as from the
wire clasp located on the side of the fan housing in order
to insert the fan without interference.
