Placing the Compressor assembly
Compressor Placement Guidelines
The compressor assembly may be placed on the floor or hearth, away from the insert (do not place in
front of the insert). It may also be placed in a ventilated enclosure or remote location. The guidelines
below outline the requirements for placing the igniter assembly. If it is placed in a remote location, make
sure it is accessible and meets all of the requirements listed below and any local building codes.
Typical installation locations may include:
• Decorative
Enclosure
• Behind Cabinet, Bookcase, or Furniture
• Remote, Dry Locations: crawl space or attic enclosure
NOTE: DO NOT place the compressor assembly inside the fireplace cavity or outside the house.
Routing the Igniter Cord
The igniter cord is 9’ long and requires a 1” diameter hole for routing through partitions. If placed in a
remote location, seal any holes to prevent air infiltration.
Electrical Requirements
The igniter assembly uses a standard 120v plug and requires an accessible receptacle. The igniter
system draws 8 amps (you may wish to place this system on a dedicated circuit). If placed in a remote
location, we recommend you a GFCI circuit breaker (this allows for safe operation and eliminates the
need to access the igniter assembly). Consult your local building official for requirements in your location.
Air Requirements
The igniter assembly utilizes a 2 CFM compressor. If making an enclosure, make sure to accommodate
enough air input to allow the igniter assembly to operate correctly. If the igniter assembly is placed in an
external location such as an attic or crawl space, make sure to keep insulation or excessive dust or dirt
from entering the igniter assembly.
WARNING: DO NOT place the compressor assembly inside the fireplace cavity, and do not place it on its
side or upside down.
