3.3.1.1
Planning for AC Power Connection
On the right side of the fireplace, you will find an electrical
junction box with a two strain relief clamps. To connect AC power
to this Fireplace and the power vent, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the junction box cover plate (secured with four
screws), route the 3-wire end of an extension cord or house
power wire cable through the strain reliefs in the cover
plate.
2.
Locate in the manual packet the plug shown in the photo. It
is labeled TO HOUSE POWER.
3.
Strip the ends of the house power wires. Connect each color-coded wire to corresponding
colored wires on the plug. 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 brai
ded wire end ¾”. Twist the braided wire around the solid copper wire end before
applying the wire nut.
4.
Plug the wire into the plug in the back of the outlet box. The house power plugs into the plug that is towards the front of
the fireplace. The plugs are designed so that they cannot be plugged into the wrong place.
5.
Once the wire is plugged in, place the wire into the junction box and reinstall the cover plate.
