The appliances covered in this manual are
heater rated and produce a great deal of heat.
Decorative brass trim pieces and hoods may
tarnish because of their proximity to the heater
opening and front face. Tarnishing of these
pieces is normal, unavoidable and should be
expected.
Forced Air Kit
The FAB-1100 assembly (
Figure 26
)provides
a forced air circulation feature for your appli-
ance. This kit mounts directly into the lower
intake chamber, behind the blower shield, with
an electrical connection made at the recep-
tacle provided (
Figure 27
). The appliance
must have an independent 120Vac power line
incorporated at the time of installation. Place
the blower against the back wall of the appli-
ance within its chamber behind the blower
shield. The blower shield has to be removed
for blower insertion and replaced before the
installation is complete. The instructions pro-
vided with the blower kit detail all wiring and
operation concerns.
The blower shield located at the back of the
appliance lower control compartment isolates
the blower chamber from the control area in
front. The blower shield is secured in place
with two screws that must be removed and
retained for reuse. Pull the bottom of the
shield forward and bring the top down to
remove the shield horizontally, flat against the
appliance bottom and below the gas controls,
piping, and wiring. The blower may be in-
serted around the right side of the gas controls
after any intervening connecting field installed
gas line has been re-routed or removed. Place
the blower within the chamber, (Refer to the
diagrams provided with the blower Kit) and
reinstall the blower shield. Ensure the blower
wire is routed through the notch in the bottom
edge of the shield.
Access to the blower chamber at the rear of the
lower control compartment in CF-5500 appli-
ances is restricted due to its compact design,
by the interfering tubing of the gas controls
assembly. To provide clearance for the blower,
the spudplate assembly must be lifted up
slightly to allow the blower to be inserted into
its chamber under it. To allow the spudplate to
be lifted, remove the four screws securing it to
the appliance firebox floor. The screws must
be accessed from within the firebox. Refer to
Page 5 and Step 11 for door removal and
replacement, refer to Step 9 for log removal,
handling and placement instructions.

Step 11. Installing the Glass Door Frame –
Retrieve the glass door frame visually. Position
the door frame in front of the firebox opening,
with the joint in the gasket down. Locate the
three (3) tabs at the bottom edge of the door
frame into the three (3) brackets at the base of
the fireplace front opening. Lean the door frame
back towards the fireplace ensuring that the
frame seats evenly as it draws shut.
Install the three (3) ¹⁄₄"-20 x 1" Phillips pan head
screws removed previously and tighten to se-
cure. Ensure that the tab on the bottom of the
door frame engages the door switch.
Make sure the screws are tightened equally to
avoid torquing the door (

along with all CF appliances. The kit consists of
a standard UL wall switch with cover plate. This
kit provides for remote (wall) operation of the
appliance. Replace the wall switch and cover
plate of this kit with the components of the RCK
and you can have true remote control of your
direct vent appliance, turning it on and off from
your favorite easy chair. The wall switch kit

homes where limited access to the appliance
On/Off switch is desirable. This kit can be
retrofitted to previously installed appliances
and may be temporarily installed in place of
other switch circuitry.
