A. Caution
The appliance is hot while in use. Be sure to keep any combustible material at least three (3) feet away
from the heater. The area directly around the fireplace heater must be clear and free of any obstructions.
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly
switched on and off by the utility.
B.
Location
When choosing a location for your new fireplace, ensure that the general instructions are followed. Also, for
best effect, install the fireplace out of direct sunlight. This fireplace is intended for indoor use only; outdoor
use may damage the unit and will invalidate the warranty.
Cold Climate Installation Recommendation: When installing this unit against a non-insulated exterior wall or
chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes.
C. Technical Requirements
At least a 15Amp/120Volt/60Hz circuit, with a properly
grounded outlet, is required to operate this heater.
Preferably, the fireplace will be on a dedicated circuit as other
appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker
to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation. If
the breaker trips when the heater is used then you need to
move the heater to another location or unplug other appliances that are on the same circuit.
The unit comes standard with 6 feet (1.8 m) three wire cord, exiting from the rear of the fireplace. Plan the
installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be a minimum
14 AWG; three wires with grounding type plug connector and rated not less than 1875 Watts. The cord
shall not be more than 20 feet (6 m) in length.
D. Clearance to Combustibles
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furniture and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of
the heater and away from the sides.
E. Assembly
