the four (4) hex-head screws that were loosened in Step 1.
Push inward on the blower assembly to lock the keyholes into

secure blower assembly to exterior, bottom of the appliance.

4. Remove wire channel-left from appliance by removing (2)
10 x 1/2" screws on left side of the appliance. Note: Some
units require a new wire channel. If Rheostat mounting holes
are missing from part removed from unit, discard wire channel
removed from unit and continue installation with appropriate
wire channel shipped with blower. See Figure 1.

portion of knob stem of the rheostat. Note: Nut is self-tapping
and can be started at an angle.

12. Push rheostat knob onto knob stem until fully seated.

13. Bend the fan control tab, located on the left side of the back
of the unit, inward toward the unit. See Figure 1. Be sure tab

Fan Control

The fan control is a non-adjustable automatic type The fan control
will require between 5 and 10 minutes of main burner operation
before the fan control "closes" and activates the blower. The blower
will continue to run between 5 and 10 minutes after the main
burner shuts off, before the fan control "opens" and deactivates
the blower.

OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning

The blower wheel will collect lint and could require cleaning once
a year. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases, it
indicates a dirty wheel.

Blower Motor

The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to
oil blower motor.

Wiring

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical

Code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] 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. For an

ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a
wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded
receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting screws.
With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can
be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

WARNING:
Unplugging of blower accessory will not stop the heater
from cycling. To shut heater off: Turn temperature dial or
thermostat to lowest setting. Turn knob on gas control to
"OFF," depressing slightly. Do not force.
