Blower Operation And Wiring - Mendota FV-44i Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

BLOWER OPERATION AND WIRING

The Mendota Gas Inserts are equipped with hot air dual blowers. A 120-volt electrical service
must be supplied for these blowers at the fireplace at the time of installation.
These specially designed Blower Kits are equipped with heavy duty 1,000° wiring. They in-
clude an automatic snap switch that automatically turns the blowers "On" after heat up (ap-
prox. 20 min.) and "Off" after the unit cools (approx. ½ hr.). A variable speed rheostat is also
included that allows the operator to fully adjust the blower hot air output.
The low profile centrifugal, radial flow blowers are made of special alloy steel for constant
high-speed operation at high temperatures. Blowers are equipped with long-life, maintenance-
free bearings that insure quiet operation and maximum airflow.
The blowers are ideal for owners who wish to maximize the heating capacity and efficiency of
Mendota Gas Fireplaces. 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%.
