Note: This kit must be installed or serviced by a qualifi ed installer, service agency or gas supplier.
These instructions are to be used in conjunction with the main installation instructions for the above
listed models.
WARNING: If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fi re or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
GROUNDING: This power supply must be installed and grounded in accordance with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. or in the
USA the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70 latest edition.
Description of System
The models 1500, 1700 and 1800 fi replaces have been
designed to accommodate the installation of a 150CFM
air circulation fan. The fan is designed to boost the
natural convection through the heater; this may be a
desirable feature dependent on the fi replace location
and room layout.
It is preferable to install the circulating fan before
completing the heater installation although it may
also be retrofi tted at a later date provided a power out-
let has been prewired within the fi replace casing. Ret-
rofi tting the fan after the fi replace installation is com-
pleted will require disconnecting the gas and removing
the burner module and gas train from the fi replace.
The fan cycles on and off with the burner via a thermal
switch mounted at the fi replace. Power to the fan is
controlled via a wall mounted on/off switch or speed
control (supplied by electrician). These instructions
cover the installation of the fan unit only. For instruc-
tions regarding how and where to locate the power
outlet within the fi replace casing refer to instructions
packaged with the fi replace.
Future servicing or replacement of the fan may be done
through the window aperture of the fi replace without
needing to remove the fi replace from the wall cavity.

Operation
To operate the fan, ensure the wall mounted control
is in the "on" position. Light the heater, there will be a
delay for the fan to start until the thermal switch warms
up. After turning the heater "off" the fan will continue to
run for a period until the thermal switch cools.
Note: When the heater is operated at lower settings,
the fan may cycle off and on repeatedly as the thermal
switch temperature cannot be maintained due to the
operation of the fan.
Electrical Requirements
This fan kit requires a power receptacle mounted within
the fi replace casing. The receptacle power will need to
be controlled by a wall switch or speed control as there
is no controller supplied with this kit.
If using a duplex receptacle to provide power for the
ambient lighting option as well, it will be necessary to
"split" the receptacle and run an additional conducter to
maintain separate control of the fan and lighting (see
instructions packaged with the heater).
The fan electrical requirements are 120 Volts, 1 phase,
60 Hz. Full load current of less than 1 amp.
