Blower Operation And Wiring - Mendota FV33i-PF2-0113 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

BLOWER OPERATION AND WIRING

WARNING: The Power Cord supplied with this appliance must be connected to a 3-prong grounded
LIVE outlet. No switches, Light Dimmers or Fan Speed Control Devices are allowed within the same
electric circuit as this appliance. Connect only to a LIVE outlet that is not controlled by any other
switching device.
Dual blowers are provided as standard equipment with this FV-33i Insert. The dual blowers have an air output
rating of 210 CFM (in free air). This Insert is designed to operate with the blowers turned OFF or ON. Turning
the blower on increases the overall efficiency of this fireplace and aids in distributing and circulating heat to the
room this Insert is installed in.
BLOWER BREAK-IN PERIOD: The integrated blowers in this Insert may exhibit some bearing noise and elec-
trical static noise during the first few hours of operation. This is normal during the break-in period. It is recom-
mended that following the Paint Curing Cycle, the blowers be run at their maximum speed for two 3-hour
periods. The burner flames may be on or off during these cycles. The blowers in a few inserts may take longer
to break-in and may require additional operation time before all extraneous noise is eliminated. Please allow
adequate operational time for the blowers to break-in before you contact your dealer for service.
BLOWER OPERATION
The remote control system supplied with this appliance can turn the blowers ON or OFF and regulate the
speed of the blowers in six (6) steps.
NOTE: In the Normal Thermostat Mode and the SMART Mode, there will be a time delay in blower operation
during "heat-up" (5 minutes) and extended blower operation during "cool-down" of unit (12-1/2 minutes).
The blowers are ideal for owners who wish to maximize the heating capacity and efficiency of Mendota Gas Fire-
places. The blowers greatly increase total heating capacity by forcefully moving hot air away from the fireplace
and mantel area and out into the room. The blowers increase the overall efficiency of the Mendota units by up to
5%.
WARNING:
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS
CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
