opening. Attach the mounting legs by screwing into the pilot
holes around the fan opening. Spin the fan blades by hand
to ensure they don't hit the fan opening. (See Figure 4.)

• The PPO box connects the fans to the household electrical
supply. In some models this box has been factory-installed,
and is located at the bottom right corner of the fireplace.
• If the PPO box has not been factory installed, ensure that
the household electrical supply is shutoff at the breaker or
fuse, and connect the two wire leads from the box to the
household electrical supply. Insert the PPO box into the
square hole in the right-hand side of the control compartment
and screw into place using self drilling hex screws as shown
in Figure 5, 6 and 7.

Operation
1. Turn on electrical power at the breaker or fuse.
2. If the fans are
manually controlled (not connected to a heat
sensor), turn on the fans' wall switch to activate the fans.
To stop the fans, turn off the wall switch.
3. If the fans are
heat-activated, they will automatically switch
after the fireplace's main burner has been lit and the
temperature has risen. The time lapse between lighting the
fireplace and fan activation will vary, depending on the model.
The fans will automatically shut off as the fireplace cools.
