WIRING INSTRUCTIoNS FoR INSTALLING A DUAL SWITCH / RECEPTACLE

In order to install both the optional Blower and Accent Light ac-

cessories, 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.

CAUTION: ALL WIRINg ShOULD BE DONE By A qUAL-

IfIED ELECTRICIAN AND ShALL BE IN COMpLIANCE

WITh ALL LOCAL, CITy AND STATE BUILDINg CODES.

BEFoRE MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CoNNECTIoN,

MAKE SURE THAT MAIN PoWER SUPPLY IS DISCoN-

NECTED. ThE AppLIANCE, WhEN INSTALLED, MUST

BE ELECTRICALLy gROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE

WITh LOCAL CODES OR, IN ThE ABSENCE Of LOCAL

CODES, WITh ThE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

CIRCUIT

BREAKER

1. To wire Junction Box Receptacle, remove the tab on the side

of the receptacle (hot side) to split receptacle. This will be

required to separate blower and Accent Light circuits.

2. Power for switched and live sides of Duplex Receptacle must

come from the same power source. (One circuit breaker on

main panel must switch all power off.)

3. From the wall box to the fireplace a 3-wire conductor with

ground is recommended, however (2) two-wire conductors

with grounds may be used in place of a 3-wire conductor with

a ground if the black wires from the Accent Light and blower

accessories are identified.

4. Two wall switches may be used to activate the two receptacle

plugs independently.

Note: Wiring to the Junction Box should be run through the 7/8"

diameter access hole located on one of the sides of the fireplace

outer wall. A Romex type connector is provided and should be

used to protect and restrain the wiring where it passes through

the fireplace outer wall. The Junction Box should be positioned in

the lower compartment of the fireplace/firebox so that it does not

interfere with moving parts of the blower assembly. The Junction

Box incorporates magnets on the bottom side to retain and reduce

the chance of movement or vibration during blower operation.
Note: If only the blower option is to be installed, wiring may be

performed as described and illustrated in the following Blower

Installation section.
