Review and consider all the following conditions before installation:
Ensure installation does not allow the electric fireplace to be in direct contact with building vapor barrier or
insulation and meets all local building code. A 15 Amp, 120 Volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is
preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit
breaker trips or fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same
circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.
Ensure the power cord is not installed so that it is pinched
or against a sharp edge and ensure that the power cord is
stored or secured to avoid tripping or snagging to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to persons. Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to persons.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
1.
Select a location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.
2.
For ease of electrical hook up you may wish to locate the fireplace near an
existing outlet (for plug
-
in convenience).
3.
Remove electric fireplace, front glass and hardware from the box and remove all packaging materials
before installation.
4.
Store the fireplace in a safe, dry and dust free location until you are ready to install the fireplace.
Grounding Instructions:
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a cord having an equipment
-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment
-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product –
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This product is for use on a nominal 120
-
volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug in
Figure 1.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician. PLEASE NOTE: This appliance cannot be
wired into a wall and must use the provided cord and a wall outlet.
