GFK-160A Blower System
- Installation and Operating Instructions -
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The GFK-160A Blower has been designed to circulate room air through the fireplace to enhance heat output. The GFK160A blower system operates on 120 VAC, 60 Hz power. This is available through a receptacle in the factory installed junction box. The junction box is located in the controls compartment of the fireplace.
A variable speed control is provided with the blower system to provide quiet forced air flow at the desired speeds. A temperature sensor switch, which automatically turns the blower ON/OFF, is also provided with this kit.
