1. Attach one blower mount to the Smart Fireplace on the right side as shown in FIGURE
8A. Repeat the process for installing the blower mount and fan on the left side.
NOTE: Ensure an electrician wires and properly grounds the Smart Fireplace blowers.
Once the brick mason has completed the face, no access to the blower wiring is
possible. Bolt blower mounts to the concrete footing in order to minimize movement
or vibration of the blower assembly as shown in FIGURE 8A.
2. Wrap the sides and blower mounts with the fiberglass insulation provided. Again,
ensure that the fan mounts are securely mounted and insulated in order to eliminate any
unwanted vibration noise.
3. Once Step 1 and 2 are complete, the air intake grilles and grille frames can be installed
when the mason bricks the front of the fireplace. Refer to FIGURE 8B to see the
recommended procedure for proper installation of the grille frames and the air intake
grille with variable speed control rheostat mounting. Ensure that the electrician
properly wires the variable speed control provided on the air grilles to the blowers.
4. FIGURE 9A demonstrates the installation of the top front warm air discharge boot to
the front of the Smart Fireplace. FIGURE 9B demonstrates the procedure for
installation of the adjustable warm air discharge boot (optional.) This optional item
allows the mason to adjust for any variation in non-standard brick or stone that is being
used on to face the fireplace.

5. The temperature snap disc was mounted and pre-wired at the factory. Refer to
FIGURE 14 and ensure a qualified electrician properly wires and grounds the Smart
Fireplace to the electrical box, shown in FIGURE 13. NOTE: It is important to
remember that no access to wiring and grounding of the fireplace is possible once the
brick mason has completed all brick work. Ensure that wiring is proper and
functioning before allowing brick work to be completed.

6. Unless local building code specifies otherwise, use a minimum Romex electrical wire,
14-2 with ground when connecting the blower system to an electrical power source.
Heavier wire can be used but consult with local code and a qualified electrician.
