WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING A DUAL SWITCH / RECEPTACLE In order to install both the optional Blower and Accent Light accessories, 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.
PAGE 11
OPTIONAL SINGLE SPEED BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS A factory included junction box is located on the lower right side of the firebox. Wiring must be fed through the 7/8" diameter hole provided on the lower side of the firebox, and secured to the outer wrap with the clamp provided. Leave approximately 6” of wire in the junction box for connection. Attention: Install blower assembly before connecting gas inlet supply line.

Position 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 firebox outer panel. The blower wheel must be centered with the side/end wall of the firebox. The magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will sufficiently hold blower assembly in place. See Figure 16. 5.
