GENERAL INFORMATION
This optional blower kit can be installed to improve hot air distribution
throughout the room. The room air circulation blower kit comes with a
variable speed control (rheostat) and an snap switch which will provide
automatic thermal activation of the blower, when desired (see Blower
Operation on Page 4).
If you encounter any problems, need clarification of these instructions or

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Blower Assembly
Step 1. Remove the contents from the blower kit.
Step 2. Place grommet with power cord into lower slot on desired side
of insert. See Figure 2.
Step 6. Visually inspect and confirm that the snap switch is flat against
the bottom side of the ash lip.
Step 7. After installing blower, If snap switch height adjustment is nec-
essary, remove blower, and with a 5/16” wrench, loosen snap
switch bracket nuts, and adjust up or down. When complete,
re-tighten bracket nuts and re-install blower.
Step 3. Loosen the two blower mounting bolts below ash lip on both
sides of front of insert, with 9/16” wrench. See Figure 3.
Figure 3

Figure 4.
Figure 4
Step 5. Insert blower under the ash lip making sure that the slots in
the blower housing line up to the left side of bolts. Gently slide
blower housing from left to right over the loosened bolts until
you feel it hit a solid stop and the housing is centered under the
ash lip of the insert. See Figure 5.

Step 11. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL E260 ONLY -
a. Remove the existing draft rod knob.
b. Install the supplied draft rod extension through the bracket at-
tached to the bottom of the left side hearth plate, making sure
the end without the grooves is toward the insert body. Thread
the coupling nut on the end closest to the insert body and then
thread the coupling nut on the rod from the insert.
c. Locate the blower and blower extensions (see Figure 8). Slide
the blower partially under the hearth plate. Run the blower
cord through the slot in the blower housing extension on the
appropriate side. Slide the left housing extension over the draft
rod on the left side and slide the right housing using the method
described below (the ends without the cord slots attach to the
blower housing). Now slide the blower assembly under the
hearth plate and center it.
Figure 8
Use the adhesive strip on the inside of the side trim pieces. Be sure
to position the side trim pieces exactly as desired then slide the trim
piece out just enough to remove the cover strip on the adhesive and

Blower Operation
The blower can be operated manually or automatically (blower will
turn on when the insert is hot and turn off when the insert is cool).
The rocker switch on the control panel allows you to select between
manual operation or automatic operation as follows (see Figure 10):
MANUAL OPERATION: Turn rocker switch to the manual position (up)
and adjust rheostat knob to the desired speed. The blower will have to
be manually turned “OFF” by rotating the rheostat knob counterclock-
wise until it clicks.
AUTO OPERATION: Turn rocker switch to the “AUTO” position and
the rheostat to the ON position (rotate rheostat knob clockwise until it
clicks). When the insert warms up, the blower will automatically turn
on (adjust rheostat knob to the desired speed setting). When the insert
cools down, the blower will automatically turn off.
Rheostat Operation - The highest blower speed is obtained by turning
the rheostat knob clockwise until it clicks “ON”, then rotate towards
“HIGH” to increase blower speed. Rotate the knob clockwise for a
lower speed. To turn off, continue to rotate the knob counterclockwise
until it clicks “OFF.”

Blower Operation Guidelines
While in auto operation mode, the blower will turn off and on based on the
temperature of the stove. Auto operation ensures there is sufficient heat
build-up to warm the air being moved by the blower before the blower is
turned on. Likewise, when the stove cools off, the blower is turned off
to prevent circulating cool air. Depending on the size and intensity of the
fire it may be necessary to adjust the fan speed accordingly to ensure un-
interrupted fan operation. For example a small fire may require a slower
fan speed to keep the heat output by the fan consistent. If the blower is
operated in manual mode, it may be necessary to adjust the blower speed
as the fire begins to burn down and the stove is no longer hot enough to
effectively heat the air moved by the blower. If the air coming from the
blower feels cool, one should either decrease the blower speed or stoke
the fire to build up more heat.
