IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

      

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

PLEASE RETAIN THIS USER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE 

 

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, 
electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following: 

 

1.  Read all instructions before using the electric fireplace. 
2.  This fireplace is hot when in use.  To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot  

surfaces.  The trim around the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation.  Keep combustible 
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from 
the front of the unit. 

3.  Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the 

unit is left operating and unattended. 

4.  Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 
5.  The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirmed persons unless they have been 

adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure they can use the appliance safely. 

6.  The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. 
7.  Always unplug the electric fireplace when not in use. 
8.  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or its service agent, or a 

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 

9.  Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if the heater has malfunctioned, or if the electric 

fireplace has been dropped or damaged in any manner.  Return heater to authorized service facility for 
examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.   

10. Do not use outdoors. 
11. Do not use this fireplace in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool. 
12. Do not install the fireplace directly on carpet or a similar surface which may restrict air circulation 

beneath the unit. 

13. Do not run the cord under carpeting.  Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or the like.  Arrange 

cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over. 

14. Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket-outlet. 
15. Do not locate the appliance in front of a fixed socket-outlet 
16. To disconnect the fireplace, turn the controls off, then remove the plug from the outlet. 
17. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an 

electric shock or fire, or damage to the heater. 

18. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, 

like a bed, where openings may become blocked. 

19. All electrical heaters have hot and arching or sparking parts inside.  Do not use in areas where gasoline, 

paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to flammable vapors. 

20. Do not modify the electric fireplace.  Use it only as described in this manual.  Any other use not 

recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons. 

21. Avoid the use of an extension cord.  Extension cords may overheat and cause a risk of fire.  If you must 

use an extension cord, the cord must be 3-core type and have a rating no less than 13 amps. 

22. Do not burn wood or other materials in the electric fireplace. 
23. Do not strike the fireplace glass. 
24. Always use a certified electrician should new circuits or outlets be required. 
25. Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets. 
26. Disconnect all power supply before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation of the unit. 
27.  When transporting or storing the unit and cord, keep in a dry place, free from excessive vibration and 

store so as to avoid damage. 

28. WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater 
29. CAUTION

In order to avoid a hazard due to the 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
