My installer had both fans on my ultima blowing out the bottom louver on my fireplace.I turned one facing up last night to see if I could tell a difference.Which way is the correct way for the fans to blow?They're monted at the back of the box and are held in place by magnets.It seems it would be better having the air blow out the top.
 
My BIS Nova has a factory-installed blower, and it blows up. That probably keeps the really hot air on top away from the blower motor.
