RSF Woodburning Fireplaces FO-FDHB5-N Manual

The internal blower kit will increase the circulation of heated air in the room where the fireplace is
installed. If you desire to distribute the heat in different rooms, please refer to central heating and zone
heating kits (FO-FDHB6-1, FO-FDHC6, FO-FDHCZ1 and FO-FDHCZ2).
All wiring should be in accordance with local ordinances and the National Electric Code.

INSTALLATION OF THE THERMAL SWITCH

Only one thermal switch is required to operate the internal blower, the central heat blower or both.

Open the bottom louver (central bottom louver on all Delta fireplaces).

Through the bottom louver opening, attach the thermal switch to the inner right leg below the
firebox. The magnet will hold the thermal switch in place. It should be spaced 1/8" from the bottom
of the firebox, not in direct contact (see Figure 1).
If you have purchased the ash pan option for your fireplace, make sure that it is still possible to remove
the ash pan once the thermal switch is installed.

PREPARATION OF THE BLOWER FOR ALL DELTA FIREPLACES

Two metal brackets along with four self-tapping screws and four lock washers were provided with your
fireplace. Please locate the parts; you will need them to install the internal blower.
1. Start by installing the two metal brackets on the ends of the blower with the screws and washers
provided (see Figure 2).
2. Remove the vibration rubber dampers from the central support of the blower and reinstall them on
the recently installed brackets in the orientation shown in Figure 2.

INSTALLATION OF THE INTERNAL BLOWER

1. If your fireplace is equipped with an ash pan: remove the ash pan plug, the ash pan itself and the
ash pan support by unscrewing the screw located at the back of the support.
2. If your fireplace has a magnetic bracket located on the right side of the bottom louver opening,
remove the magnetic bracket.
3. If your fireplace is equipped with a floor shield: remove the floor shield.
On a Delta Fusion: The floor shield is made of two parts. Both parts are screwed together and
factory installed to cover the entire floor below the firebox. Before installing the internal blower, the
floor shield must be modified. Remove the screw and overlap the front section with the back
section. Put the modified floor shield back into the bottom of the fireplace against the back. If you
ever remove the blower make sure to extend the shield again.
