For normal operation, this appliance requires 120 VAC, 2 Amp power or a 6V DC power source. The AC
power supply to this Fireplace must be hot at all times and shall not have a switch installed in it.
This appliance is equipped with an electrical junction box on the

Planning for AC Power Connection
On the right-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 an extension cord or
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.
