Hello all.
I will be having a BK chinook 30 installed soon with the electrical blower.
The stoveboard I want says in fine print that if an electrical blower is going to be used that I must have an electrical grounding kit.No other instructions are given.
What am I grounding to what here?Stove to floorboard,blower to stoveboard,etc.
Any help is appreciated.
 
Changed the title so BKVP will hopefully see it and give you the answer!

Yes you want to ground the stove, the idea behind that is if a short occurs the stove does not shock you, also a gfi receptacle will provide the same protection, the fan plug is the 3 prong type.
