GENERAL INFORMATION
This blower kit may be used with gas fireplaces listed herein. The
FBK-LIN-B blower kit is used when a unit-mounted variable speed
blower control is desired. The blowers are installed beneath the
rear of firebox. When the fireplace reaches operating temperature,
the thermal switch will turn on the blowers. Room air is drawn in
through the bottom area of the fireplace, heated as it passes across
the firebox, and discharged through the upper air exhaust area at
the top of the firebox. The speed control can be turned up or down
to the desired blower speed.
ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THE INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION MANUAL PROVIDED WITH THE FIREPLACE APPLY TO
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
