If you encounter any problems, need clarification of these instructions or

Cat. No. Model Description
H7918
SSK-BLWR-FSB700 Blower Retrofit Kit, FS Woodstoves
The blower must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, single
phase. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from
this plug. Do not route power cord under or in front of
appliance.
Installation must be in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition. In Canada,
the current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code - latest
edition.
DANGER: Disconnect power before servicing blower.
In the event that you remove the blower for any reason,
make sure a cover plate (available from Lennox Hearth
Products) is installed before using the heater. Excessive
rear wall temperatures will result if the stove is burned
without the cover plate. The cover plate is not necessary
if a blower has never been installed because a knock-out
will be in place to act as the cover.
