Dutchwest Natural Vent Gas Heater

Install the Optional Fan

1. The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheo-
stat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower as-
sembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and
the rheostat mounts to the left side of the valve. The
assembly includes a 'snapstat' which automatically
turns the fan ON (or OFF) above (or below) approxi-
mately 109°F. The rheostat also provides a range
of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the
snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the
blower assembly. Confirm that the fan spins freely.
2. Attach the fan assembly to the bracket provided in
the log box. Use #10 sheet metal screws provided
with fan kit. Do not remove finger guard screws.

attach snapstat
tween the inner and outer shroud. The inner shroud
should engage with the two slots in the ends of the 8/02
bracket so the bracket and shroud are interlocked.
(Fig. 11) Secure the bracket with the four sheet
metal screws provided in the finish bag.
8. Install the snapstat by loosening the front screw
on the inner side of the duct. (Fig. 12) Slide the
snapstat under the head of the screw and tighten.
Connect the leads to the snapstat. Make sure the
snapstat assembly is mounted straight front to back.
