WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING A DUAL SWITCH / RECEPTACLE
In order to install both the optional Blower and Accent Light acces-
sories, it will be necessary to install the junction box so that the
Duplex Receptacle wiring is split. This will allow each side of the
receptacle to operate independently off separate wall switches.
See diagram below.
NOTE: To operate the FBB5 Blower accessory with a variable
speed control, the SCV1 Variable Speed Control Kit should be in-
stalled to control the power to one side of the duplex receptacle.
LK2 ACCENT LIGHT ACCESSORY
1. To wire Junction Box Receptacle, remove the tab on the side
of the receptacle (hot side) to split receptacle. This will be
required to separate blower and Accent Light circuits.
2. Power for switched and live sides of Duplex Receptacle must
come from the same power source. (One circuit breaker on
main panel must switch all power off.)
3. From the wall box to the replace a 3-wire conductor with
ground is recommended, however (2) two-wire conductors
with grounds may be used in place of a 3-wire conductor with
a ground if the black wires from the Accent Light and blower
accessories are identied.
4. Two wall switches may be used to activate the two receptacle
plugs independently.
An Accent Light Kit model LK2 is available for installation in
the top of the rebox. Providing the junction box has been pre-
wired with separate circuits as described in the "Wiring for a dual
switch/receptacle" section, the Accent Light kit may be installed at
any time on louvered models, or on ush panel models prior to the
upper panels being covered with nishing materials.
Follow the instructions provided with the LK2 Accent Light kit for
proper installation in the replace/rebox.

39812-2-0620Page 12
OPTIONAL SINGLE SPEED BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Attention: Install blower assembly before connecting gas inlet
supply line.
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if an external
electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with
a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle,
an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can be
purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire
connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire com-
pleting the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the
adapter and be electrically grounded.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous op-
eration. Verify proper operation after servicing.
1. If installed, turn OFF gas supply to rebox/gas log.
2. If applicable, turn OFF electric supply to rebox.
CAUTION: All wiring should be done by a qualied elec-
trician and shall be in compliance with all local, city and
state building codes. Before making the electrical con-
nection, make sure that main power supply is discon-
nected. The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes, with the
national electrical code ANSI/NFPA 70 (Latest Edition).
To install the blower kit, access the junction box, or install a light
kit, remove the access cover plate and/or lower louvers or ush
panels as illustrated by Figures 15 and 16.
A factory included junction box is located on the lower right side
of the rebox. Wiring must be fed through the 7/8" diameter hole
provided on the lower side of the rebox, and secured to the outer
wrap with the clamp provided. Leave approximately 6” of wire in
the junction box for connection.
Attach black wire to one side of the receptacle and white wire to
opposite side of receptacle. The ground wire should be attached
to the green (ground) screw. See Figure 14.
Install the receptacle into the junction box as illustrated.
Attach cover plate. Place Junction Box so that it is approximately 8
to 12" away from the outer wrap wall. Secure wiring at outer wrap
of replace with wire clamp provided.
Attention: If installed, do not damage gas inlet supply line when
blower assembly is inserted into rebox. In some cases, removal
of the gas inlet supply line may be necessary.

tion blower assembly so that you align the notch on back of
blower assembly with the center screw on side/end panel,
then push the blower assembly against rebox outer panel.
The blower wheel must be centered with the side/end wall of
the rebox. The magnets on the back and bottom of blower
assembly will sufciently hold blower assembly in place. See
Figure 18.
5. Once the blower assembly is in position, locate the plug but-
ton in the top corner of the rebox. Remove the plug with a
standard screwdriver and discard plug.
6. Next, nd the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed
the wires through the hole at the top of the rebox. Feed the
wires over the rebox top and down between the rebox side
and outer wrap then, secure the fan control switch with (2) #6
screws provided. See Figure 17.
7. The fan control wires will slide down between the rebox and
outer wrap near the blower assembly. See Figure 18.
8. One fan control wire will have a 1/4” female terminal that must
be attached to the open terminal on the blower motor. See
Figure 21, Connection A.
9. The other fan control wire has a 1/4” male terminal. Attach this
terminal to the open terminal on the blower power cord. See
Figure 21, Connection B
10. Route the wires away from moving parts of the blower assem-
bly and retain wires together near the blower motor using the
plastic purse clip provided.
11. To complete the installation, plug the power cord into the junc-
tion box receptacle previously installed in the bottom of the
rebox. See Figures 18 and 20.
12. Once all connections are made electrically, it is recommended
that you test the blower fan control operation by turning on
power to the blower (CAUTION: 110 Volt). Then apply heat to
the fan control switch inside the rebox with a lighter or match
until blower is activated. Once blower is activated, check for
proper operation. Do not place hands near blower assembly
or other wiring while power is on.
13. Replace blower access plate and louvers or ush panels. See
Figures 15 and 16.
14. This completes the installation of the optional FBB5 Blower kit
accessory.
NOTE: This blower is equipped with a heat activated fan control
switch. Blower will operate when the rebox warms up, and will
turn off automatically when the rebox cools down. The time will
vary for the activation of the fan control switch depending on sev-
eral factors including rebox/log set sizing, BTU input variables,
and log set positioning. Generally, it may take from 5 to 20 minutes
to activate blower/fan control from a cold start.

Blower Motor
The blower motor does not have oiling holes. Do not attempt to oil

Blower Wheels
The blower wheels will collect lint and could require periodic clean-
ing. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases, it indi-
cates a dirty blower wheel. Remove fan and clean blower wheels.
