Replacement Blower Installation - Napoleon GDI-44N Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

5.0 REPLACEMENT BLOWER INSTALLATION

The Napoleon® gas appliance comes standard with a blower, a heat sensor, variable on/off speed control
and a power cord. Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start
approximately 15 minutes after lighting the appliance and will run for approximately 30 minutes after the
appliance has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Air, drawn in through the lower slot,
is driven up the back of the fi rebox, and exhausted as hot air through the upper slot.
A. Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the appliance.
B. Remove the fi re viewing door. Remove the logs,
log support and back wall.
C. Remove the blower
access door held
on with 10 screws.
Replace the blower
access door gasket
when changing the
blower.
D. Disconnect the
two blower wires. Remove the blower bracket
secured with one wing nut and lock washer.
For thermodisc replacement: Remove the "Z"
shaped mounting bracket secured to the fi rebox
wall behind the left side control door. Remove
the thermodisc from the bracket and replace.
E. Replace the blower using the existing bracket.
Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the
clip (C) and up against the threaded stud (B) at
the other end. The blower must be able to be
positioned entirely onto the pad.
Slide the blower into the clip (C). Secure to the
threaded stud using the existing lock washer and
wing nut. Ensure that the blower does not touch
the fi replace base or the fi rebox.
F. Reconnect the two wires. Holding the
replacement gasket in place, re-attach the blower
access door. Replace the backwall, logs and log
support. Reinstall the fi re viewing door.
G. Turn the gas supply and electricity back on.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower
bearings causing irreparable damage and must
be prevented from coming into contact with the
blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting
from this condition is not covered by the warranty
policy.
