properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not

Install the Optional Fan

If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit

#2767 (FK26), continue here. If you are not installing a

fan kit, proceed to Venting System Assembly.

1. The fan kit includes a blower assembly and a rheo

stat assembly, connected by a cable. The blower as-

sembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and

the rheostat mounts to the left side of the valve. The

assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically

turns the fan ON (or OFF) above (or below) approxi-

mately 109°F. The rheostat also provides a range

of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the

snapstat function) to High. Unpack and inspect the

blower assembly. Conﬁrm that the fan spins freely.

2. Remove the rear shroud by loosening the two (2)

bolts at the bottom left and right side of the shroud.

Slide shroud straight up, rotate the bottom out and

away from stove and pull shroud out.

3. Attach the fan assembly to the fan bracket provided

in the log box. Use #10 sheet metal screws provided

in fan kit. Do not remove ﬁnger guard screws. (Fig.
