Planning for AC Power Connection
On the left-side access box cover, you will find an electrical junction box
with a strain relief clamp. To connect AC power to this Fireplace, follow
these steps:
1.
Remove the junction box cover plate (secured with two screws),
route the 3wire end of house power wire cable through the strain
relief in the cover plate.
2.
Strip the ends of the house power wires and the three color coded
wires within the junction box. Connect each color-coded wire to
corresponding colored wires within the junction box. Use the
supplied wire nuts to connect each wire pair ends.
Note:
When connecting two
braided wires using wire nuts, strip
both braided wire ends at least ½”
and twist the two bare ends
together before using wire nuts.
When connecting a braided wire
to a solid copper wire, strip the
solid copper wire end ½” and the braided wire end ¾”. Twist the braided wire around the solid copper wire end
before applying the wire nut.
3.
Place connected wire ends within junction box then close and secure the junction box cover plate.
