WarnInG:
The MFI2500 electric masonry insert must be installed in an opening with the minimum
dimensions 26”w (66cm) x 21.5”h (54.6cm) x 12.8”d (32.5cm)
notE:
To prevent personal injury always used a licensed electrician to install new outlets or electrical circuits.
notE:
To prevent personal injury always use a professional to cap the chimney flue or cut a hole in the
existing fireplace for wiring.
notE:
If returning your fireplace to its original use (ex. wood burning), it should be inspected by the local
building department prior to use to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
1.
Seal all drafts and vents with non-fibrous insulation materials to prevent chimney debris from falling
onto the electric fireplace insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace that is prone to dampness.
2.
Cap the top of the chimney flue and close the damper (if applicable) to prevent rain from entering
the chimney.
3.
Plan your electric power supply. A 15 amp, 120 volt circuit is required for this electric fireplace
insert. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if after installation, the circuit breaker or fuse trips. Additional appliances may exceed the
current rating of the circuit breaker or fuse.
4.
Install an outlet into the existing fireplace. If an outlet is not installed into the existing fireplace the
power cord can also run along the front of the hearth to an outlet near the fireplace.
5.
Ensure the electric fireplace insert power is off. See operation Page 4. Plug the electric fireplace
insert into the outlet and slide the unit into the existing fireplace.
6.
Push the insert into the fireplace and centre it within the opening. Adjust 1 or all of the 4 feet on the
bottom of the insert to ensure that your electric fireplace insert is level within the fireplace opening.
WarnInG:
The electric fireplace insert can be used with existing fireplace screens. Due to the heat
produced from the electric fireplace insert heater, existing fireplace screens must provide adequate airflow
in front of the electric fireplace insert. Do not use existing fireplace doors that close, sealing off the electric
fireplace insert from the room. If installed behind bi-fold doors, the doors must be open to allow the heat
to be exhausted.
