INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE LEFT WITH OWNER FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AFTER INSTALLATION.
Attention: Install blower assembly before connecting gas inlet supply line
Note: Junction box on right side of replace must be pre-wired at time of replace installation for use with blower
assembly. It is recommended that an ON/OFF wall switch be installed that will activate the power supply to the
replace by a qualied electrician.
CAUTION: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
ALL LOCAL, CITY AND STATE BUILDING CODES. BEFORE MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION, MAKE SURE
THAT MAIN POWER SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED. THE APPLIANCE, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE ANSI/NFPA 70 (LATEST EDITION).

A factory installed junction box is located on the lower right
side of the replace. Wiring must be fed to the junction
box and attached to the receptacle that is provided. Leave
approximately 6" of wire in the junction box for connection.
Attach black wire to one side of the receptacle and white
wire to opposite side of receptacle. The ground wire should
be attached to the green (ground) screw.
1. To wire Junction Box Receptacle, remove the tab on the
side of the receptacle (hot side) to split receptacle. This
will be required to separate blower and valve circuits.
2. Power for switched and live sides of Duplex Receptacle
must come from the same power source. (One circuit
breaker on main panel must switch all power off.)
3. From the wall box to the replace a 3-wire conductor
with ground is recommended, however (2) two-wire
conductors with grounds may be used in place of a
3-wire conductor with a ground if the black wires from
the thermostat and blower switch are identied.

used to activate the two receptacle plugs independently.

FBB4 BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wiring
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, if an external electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
[grounding] plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two
prongs and a wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle
mounting screw. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
