Install The Optional Fan - Vermont Castings Stardance 3070 Homeowner's Installation And Operating Manual

Install the Optional Fan

If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit
#2767 (FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a
Fan Kit, go to page 15, Venting System Assembly.
1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a
Rheostat Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 18)
The Blower Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of
the stove, and the Rheostat mounts to the valve
coverplate. The assembly includes a 'snapstat' which
automatically turns the fan On (or Off) above (or
below) approximately 109˚. The Rheostat also
provides a range of fan speed settings from Off
(which overrides the snapstat function) to High.
Unpack and inspect the Blower assembly. Confirm
that the fan spins freely.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounded) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
