GFK-210-C Blower System
- Installation and Operating Instructions -
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The GFK-210-C Blower System has been designed to
circulate room air through the fi replace to enhance heat
output. The GFK-210-C blower system operates on 120
VAC, 60 Hz power. This is available through a receptacle
in the factory installed power cord assembly. The power
cord is located in the controls compartment of the fi replace.
An optional variable speed control is available for use
with the blower system to provide quiet forced air fl ow at
the desired speeds. A temperature sensor switch, which
automatically turns the blower ON/OFF, is also provided
with this kit. See Figure 2 and Section 8.0.
NOTICE: The variable speed control and temperature
sensor switch are not used with some remote control
systems.
CAUTION! Do not install a damaged blower kit.
2.0 CHECK CONTENTS OF SHIPPING CARTON
Compare CONTENTS OF CARTON in Figure 1 with the
actual parts received. If any parts are missing or damaged,
contact your dealer before starting installation.
3.0 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The GFK-210-C Blower Kit is tested and safe when installed
in accordance with this installation manual. It is your responsibility to read all instructions before starting installation and
to follow these instructions carefully during installation to
assure maximum benefi t from, and safe operation of, the
blower.
This blower is carefully engineered and must be installed
only as specifi ed. If you modify it or any of its components,
you may cause a fi re hazard and will void the WARRANTY .
In addition, such action may void the coverage provided
by the owner's home insurance.
CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualifi ed electri-
cian and shall be in compliance with local codes and with
the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-current (in
the United States), or with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electric Code (in Canada).
CAUTION! DO NOT connect 110-120 VAC wiring to the
gas control valve of the fi replace.
WARNING! Risk of Shock! Turn electrical power off at
the circuit breaker before beginning this installation.

4.0 INSTALLING THE BLOWER (Metal Inserts)
1. Remove factory-installed blower brackets by removing
four screws. Brackets are only used for the FireBrick
inserts. See Figure 3.
2. Remove appliance from wall.
3. Remove access panel by removing screws. See Figure
4. Note: 35 inch models have two more screws than
30 inch models.
4. Screw blowers to access panel on rear of insert with
four screws. See Figure 5.
5. Plug the blower cord into the blower receptacle. Connect the white, black, and green spade connectors
from blower cord harness to each blower. See Figure
1 and Figure 7.
6. Bundle and zip tie any wires to keep them from contacting the fan blades. See Figure 7, Detail A.
7. Reinstall access panel.
NOTE: Install the blower using the access panel located on
the back side of the appliance.

5.0 INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL V ARIABLE SPEED
CONTROL AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR SWITCH
If using a remote control system that utilizes a blower
(fan) control, disregard steps 1-3 and follow remote control installation instructions.
NOTICE! The sensor switch and rheostat are not used
if the blower is controlled with the RC300 remote control.
1. Slide the variable speed control behind the control
panel. With the stem sticking out of the pre-punched
hole, attach the locknut tightly and reattach the knob on
the stem. See Figure 6. Turn the speed control switch
to the "ON" position.
2. Slide the temperature sensor switch onto the blower
stud located on the bottom of the combustion box. See
Figure 3. Secure the temperature sensor switch with
the wing nut provided.
NOTICE: The blower stud is located on the bottom of the
combustion box. See Figure 6.
NOTICE: The temperature sensor switch must be installed
so that the sensor switch is facing the combustion box
surface. See Detail A of Figure 6.
3. Connect the variable speed control and the temperature
sensor switch to the power cord. See Figure 7.
4. Gather the loose wires underneath the appliance and
use the zip ties to restrain them and keep them away
from the blower wheel (fan blades). See Figure 7,
Detail A.
5. Turn the 110-120 VAC service "ON" at the circuit
breaker.
6.0 RECOMMENDED OPERATING PROCEDURES WHEN V ARIABLE SPEED CONTROL AND
TEMPERATURE SENSOR SWITCH ARE USED
Ignite the fi re in the fi replace with the variable speed control
switch in an "ON" position. The fan will automatically turn
on when the temperature sensor switch closes at approximately 110O F. Heated air will be delivered at the outlet
grille. The fan will continue to operate after the fi replace
is turned OFF until the temperature sensor switch opens.
NOTICE! During operation, ensure that all wiring is
kept away from the blower wheel (fan blades).
Various conditions (such as fi replace model, type of fi re-
place installation, outside air temperature vs. inside air
temperature) can contribute to the length of the time the
blower remains on after the fi replace is turned OFF. The
blower can be turned off manually with the speed control
switch.
WARNING! Risk of Injury! DO NOT contact the blower
wheel (fan blades) during operation.
7.0 MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the fi replace and remove any dust, dirt
or obstructions.
