A remote wall switch and up to fifteen (15) feet of 18 Ga. 
wire may be used with this appliance. Attach the wall 
switch in a junction box at the desired location on the wall. 
See Figure 26. Do not extend beyond the wall switch wire 
length provided. 

NOTE:  Extended lengths of wire may cause the 
fi replace not to function properly. Longer length of 
wire is permitted if the wire is made out of larger 
gauge (diameter) wire. Always check with local 
code.

WIRING
1.  Before installing the blower, wire the receptacle into an electrical circuit. This should be done before framing the fire-

place.  Wire with minimum 60ºC wire in accordance with prevailing codes.

2.  Remove the external junction box cover by removing the screw from the right side of the outside firebox wall. Junction 

box was installed at the factory.

3.  The junction box cover has a factory installed 

“romex” style strain relief connector. After 
connecting the wires, route the wire leads 
through this connector. Refer to the wiring 
diagram in Figure 27a.

BEFORE INSTALLING BLOWER
1.  Always turn off the gas supply and allow the unit to cool down before proceeding.
2.  Clean the inside of the firebox (wall and floor), where the blower and wires will be installed.  Make sure the firebox 

wall and floor are clean and dry before mounting the blower.

blower blades or firebox.
