Overview
This kit supplies a basic wall-mount remote kit with an AC adapter to power the remote receiver. The basic
installation is the same for MV and GSB stoves and inserts. This kit can also be used with MV and GSB
fireplaces however, the way the kit connects to AC power is slightly different than with the inserts and stoves (see
fireplace installation section for details).
General Fireplace, Insert, and Radiant Stove Installation Instructions
This set of installation instructions shows a summary of the remote installation.
For detailed instructions on the placement of the receiver and other details, refer to the installation
manual included with your appliance.
RADIANT INSERT NOTE: If a blower is used you will not
use the strain-relief bracket that is included with this kit and
can skip step one. When a blower is used, the ground for the
remote AC adapter will connect to the blower rheostat
housing and the blower ground wire will be attached to the
extra tab on the AC adapter grounding quick connect.

2. Install the power cord with a strain relief clamp into
the bracket. Feed the Molex end of the power cord
through the hole in the bracket. Close to the end of
the wire insulation place the strain relief on the wire
with the sloped end facing the plug end of the cord.
Bend the attached plug portion of the strain relief
over until it is in line with the slot in the strain relief.
Pinch the two portions of the strain relief together
with pliers and insert the sloped end of the strain
relief into the hole in the bracket until the strain relief
snaps into place.
3. STOVES & INSERTS Attach
the power harness adapter to
the power cord. Attach the
ground wire to the grounding
tab on the power cord bracket
on stoves and inserts.
FIREPLACES Disconnect the main
power harness from the junction
box inside the fireplace. Install the
power harness adapter on the
junction box where you just
disconnect the main power
harness. Plug the main power
harness into the Molex that is
attached to the adapter. Bunch the
ground wire up and use one of the
included zip ties to secure the
ground.
NOTE: If no other accessories are going to be installed on the appliance, use the female Molex connector
to ensure that the electrical connections on the unused power Molex don’t contact the appliance
and short out.
If using a blower and/or Ember-Glo/Under Lights, use this Molex to supply power for those
accessories.
