To operate this hi-efficiency fireplace as a basic system,
the blower is not required, however, to enhance its
efficiency a blower is recommended.
A BLOWER KIT (NZ62)
may be purchased with the option of
adding up to one additional blower. These blowers are installed
in the bottom of the unit and are used to direct the heat into the
room where the fireplace is located. The blowers are controlled,
by a variable speed switch, located inside the fireplace.
A THERMOSTATIC AIR CONTROL (NZ690KT),
may be used
for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and
thermostat, wall mounted in the room containing the fireplace,
and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the fireplace.
A HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ220)
may be used
to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either above,
or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way of vents,
eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this system
may be used in conjunction with the optional blowers, it could
reduce the flow of hot air being distributed to additional rooms.
It must be experimented with and the dampers adjusted
manually to suit your requirements. This may take a few
attempts; thereafter adjustments should no longer be required
as is normally experienced with your central heating system
registers.
The heat shield cover plate must be removed before in-
stalling the gravity vent. The hot air vent must be installed
in an upward direction! NEVER install in a downward di-
rection. Figures 5c, 5d & 5e. The hot air gravity vent sys-
tem is not be connected to a central heating system. This
option may not be used in mobile homes.
No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed to
fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet.
All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM (NZ62CH)
may be used
to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit. A wall mounted
thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the
blower supplying warm air from the room containing the
fireplace. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat
blower may safely be tied into this system to reduce the
amount of new ducting required. Consult with a heating
specialist to ensure a proper duct layout for your home. If
the NZ62CH is installed at the bottom of the unit, it could
introduce a cool draft into the room that the fireplace is
installed in. When attached to the top or sides of the unit, it
provides a higher heat output.
This option may not be
used in mobile homes.
FIGURES 4
A HOT AIR DISTRIBUTION KIT (GA-566)
may be used to
distribute warm air from the fireplace base (only) into a
separate location in the home.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the
optional blowers are to be installed, make provision dur-
ing framing to route a 110 volt power line to the fireplace.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
venting kit.
