WARNING

BEFORE OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE, CAREFULLY 

READ THE FOLLOWING. 

WIRING

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 recep-

tacle. 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.

Proper line voltage polarity must be maintained in order for the 

control system to operate correctly. Verify the incoming neutral line 

is connected to the white wire and the incoming “hot” line is con

-

nected to the black wire. The fireplace will not operate properly 

unless the polarity and ground are correct.

Figure 45

WARNING

Potential  risk  of  fire,  electric  shock,  and  personal 

 

injury. Take precautions to reduce such risks.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing  

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and 

 

dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servic-

ing.
