CAUTION
All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be
in compliance with all local, city and state building codes. Before
making the electrical connection, make sure that the main power
supply is disconnected. The fireplace, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70 (Latest Edition).
Wiring to the junction box must be metal clad or enclosed in a
conduit and must be approved for outdoor use. A connector for
the junction box to accommodate 1/2-in. conduit is supplied in the
instruction envelope. The fireplace receptacle must be connected
to an external GFI protected outlet installed near the fireplace
See Figure 17.
Route the wiring from the external GFI outlet through the conduit
to the junction box. Leave approximately 6-in. of wire in the junc-
tion box for connection.
Retrieve the receptacle and cover from the instruction enve-
lope. Attach the black wire to the gold screw and white wire to
the silver screw of the receptacle. The ground wire should be
attached to the green ground screw on the junction box and the
receptacle.
Place receptacle in position and attach cover plate. Make sure
the cover plate doors open upward. Be sure to test the receptacle
to ensure the GFI circuit functions properly. Plug transformer
power cord into receptacle, and close the unused receptacle
door.
