installed. If the fireplace has already been installed, the blowers may be installed by removing the burner

activate power to the fireplace until the blower kit is fully installed and grounded.
Do not connect 110-120 VAC to the gas control valve or wiring system of this appliance.
If installing the blowers prior to installing the fireplace (RECOMMENDED) skip the to the
“Installation” section on page 4.
Installing the Blower from Inside Firebox (not recommended)
The fireplace is equip with a removable valve tray assembly that allows for installation and service of the
blower after the fireplace has been installed. To access the lower portion of the appliance:
 Turn the gas off to the fireplace.
 Disable AC power to the fireplace (turn off breaker)
 Remove the glass assembly and logs (see manual).
 Remove the burners (see manual).
