FAN MAINTENANCE
If the fan requires maintenance or replacement, access to the
fan is through the access panel on the rear wall of the firebox.
Note: The unit MUST NOT be operated without the fan
access panel securely in place and correctly sealed.
IMPORTANT:These fans collect a lot of dust from within
your home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors on a
regular basis by vacuuming out the fan squirrel cages,
around the motor, and around the grills on the back of the
stove.
Disconnect power supply before servicing

IMPORTANT
Hint for pushing fan down onto pins - rub a bit of dish soap on
the pins so the grommets will slide down more easily. Check
to make sure the fan is seated properly on the pins - try to move
the fan back and forth, there should be no noise, if there is
check that the grommets haven't come loose.
Replacing F43 fan:
Reverse steps (1-5 on removing the fan). If necessary install
a new gasket (Part# 936-196) before replacing the fan access
panel. Make sure the fan wires are reattached.
