1.0 INTRODUCTION
The GFK-160T Blower has been designed to circulate room
air through the fireplace to enhance heat output. The GFK160T 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.
3.0 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The GFK-160T 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 benefit from, and safe operation of, the blower.
This blower is carefully engineered and must be installed
only as specified. If you modify it or any of its components,
you may cause a fire hazard and will void the WARRANTY.
In addition, such action may void the coverage provided by
the owner's home insurance.

All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician 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).
