6.3 CHARCOAL EMBERS
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner.
Fine dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
NOTE: Charcoal embers are not to be placed on the burner.
6.4 GLOWING EMBERS
Tear the embers into pieces and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of
the small logs. Care should be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fi bre hairs will glow. The ember material will only glow when exposed to direct fl ame; how-
ever, care should be taken to not block the burner ports.
Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM
logs glow when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed "glowing embers" and PHAZERTM logs available
from your Continental® dealer.

51.5
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER and must
be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian
electrical code in Canada or the ANSI / NFPA 70 National Electrical Code
in the United States.
If the appliance was not previously equipped with a blower:
Route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the receptacle /
junction box. At this point, it must be strain relieved and insulated.
The three slots on the blower mounting bracket allow ease of adjustment when
attaching the blower. For a quiet running blower, do not allow the assembly to
sit on the firebox base. Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and
up against the threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower must be able to
be positioned entirely onto the pad.
To ease installation of the blower, remove the hinge screen and valve control door
(lower louvres) from the base of the appliance.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and into the clip (C).
Secure to the threaded stud using the lock washer and wing nut provided.
Ensure that the blower does not touch the appliance base or the firebox.

using the nut provided. Plug the harness cord
into the receptacle.The wire harness provided
in this kit is a universal harness. When installed,
ensure that any excess wire is contained,
preventing it from making contact with
moving or hot objects.
Because the blower is thermally activated,
when turned on, it will automatically start
approximately 10 minutes after lighting the appliance and will run for approximately 30-45 minutes after the
appliance has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Drywall dust will penetrate into the
blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered by the
warranty policy.
