IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR OPERATE
The FK-165-ESC Fan Kit has been designed as a retrot or new fan kit to circulate room air through many hearth products
in the industry. The FK-165-ESC operates on 120VAC, 60Hz power. The fan dimensions are 12-3/4” W x 4” H x 3-1/2” D.
Power must be provided through an approved factory installed junction box from the hearth product’s manufacturer.
A speed control (FK-ESC) is provided with the Fan Kit System to adjust the air output. The speed control will turn ON the
fan automatically 7-minutes after the main ame has been turned ON and turn the fan OFF 12-minutes after the main
ame has been turn OFF. There are four speeds, Hi, Medium Hi, Medium Lo, Lo and OFF. You can manually adjust the
speed by pressing the FAN SPEED button on the FK-ESC. The FK-ESC will remember the last setting used and remain
on that setting until manually changed.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Novus appliances do not require the use of the air deector.
WARNING: Turn electrical power OFF at the circuit breaker before beginning this installation.
1. Unplug the old fan system (if applicable) and remove it from the appliance. In some cases the existing mounting
bracket may be used. If not use the mounting bracket supplied with this fan kit.
2. Mount the air deector on the F-165-1 fan. See Figure #1. The deector sits on top of the fan as shown and
secures to the middle hole of the fan on each side. Note: Some installations may not require air deector.
3. If using the mounting bracket supplied with the FK-165-1 bend the tabs as shown in Figure #1. Note: In some
installations you may use the existing mounting bracket from the appliance. Secure the mounting bracket for the
fan in four places using the supplied sheet metal screws mating to the aligned holes on the fan housing.
4. Peel the protective covering from the foam strips and place them to the mounting bracket as shown in Figure #2.
5. Cut the magnets in half using tin snips as shown on front page (part #5). Peel the protective coating from the
magnets place them on the bottom of the mounting bracket as shown in gure #3. OPTION: You can use
two of the magnets to secure the FK-ESC to the base of the appliance.
6. Attach the FK-ESC wires to the F-165-1 fan as shown in the wiring diagram (Fig.5).
7. Install the new F-165-1 fan housing in the rear of the appliance where the previous fan was installed.
8. Pull the fan housing slightly away from the back metal wall (1/8’’ to 1/4’’) of the appliance. The magnetic feet will
hold the housing in place. (See Figure #1)
9. Attach the F-165-1 fan ground (green) wire to an accessible ground source.
10. Plug the FK-ESC into an approved electrical junction box and lay inside appliance accessible for operation.
11. If installing this kit into an appliance with a Millivolt valve system use Figure #5. If installing this kit into an IPI
electronic system use Figure #6.

OPERATION
The speed control will turn ON the fan automatically 7 minutes after the main ame has been turned ON and turn the fan
OFF 12 minutes after the main ame has been turn OFF. There are four speeds, Hi, Medium Hi, Medium Lo, Lo and OFF.
Manually adjust fan speed by pressing the FAN SPEED button on the FK-ESC.
To check the fan for proper wiring press the TEST button. This is a manual override that will operate the fan on HI as long
as the button is depressed. The FK-ESC will remember the last setting used and remain on that setting until changed.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
16 SPT 2 – Optional 16-inch extension cord to plug into junction box for greater mobility of the FK-ESC.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning on a semi-annual basis is required to keep the warranty in place. Dust or dirt must be removed from the fan
blades, air inlets and blower outlet for the fan kit to maintain the efciency of the system. Carefully use a vacuum with a
brush to remove any dust. If unable to reach fan with a vacuum remove the fan from the appliance for easier cleaning.

When plugging in the FK-ESC into a 120VAC power source, some replaces use a standard metal junction box and other
replaces may use a power strip. If a power strip is used (as shown below in gure 4) and no power is found in the FAN
outlet use the red jumper wire with the 1/4” connectors and attach as shown below. With the jumper installed the FAN
outlet will provide the power necessary to operate the FK165-1 system.
