Blower Operation And Wiring - Mendota DXV-45 DT4 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

BLOWER OPERATION AND WIRING

WARNING: The Electrical Junction box within this appliance must be connected to a grounded LIVE power circuit. No
switches, Light Dimmers or Fan Speed Control Devices are allowed within the same electric circuit as this appliance.
Connect only to a LIVE electrical power supply that is not controlled by any other switching device.
Dual blowers are provided as standard equipment with this DXV45 DT4 Fireplace. The dual blowers have an air output
rating of 210 CFM (in free air). This Fireplace is designed to operate with the blowers turned ON when the appliance is
running and hot. The blowers increase the overall efficiency of this fireplace and aid 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 electrical stat-
ic noise during the first few hours of operation. This is normal during the break-in period. It is recommended that follow-
ing the Paint Curing Cycle, the blowers be run at their maximum speed for two 3-hour periods. The blowers in a few
units may take longer to break-in and may require additional operation time before all extraneous noise is eliminated.
Please allow adequate operational time (a minimum of 2 weeks) for the blowers to break-in before you contact your
dealer for service.
WARNING: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
BLOWER OPERATION
The blower output can be regulated with the rheostat. NOTE: There will be a time delay in blower operation during
"heat-up" (approx. 15 minutes) and extended blower operation during "cool-down" of unit. (Approx. ½ hour). NOTE:
Power supply to blower must be continuous. DO NOT use a switch or variable speed control in power supplied to fire-
place.
OPERATION DURING POWER OUTAGES
The fireplace is designed to operate during power outages. The blower will not operate, but natural convection can be
improved by removing the upper grill and opening the screen doors (depending on the type of optional front installed).
