Grounding Instructions
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required.
Preferably, the fireplace will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the
same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater
is in operation. The unit comes standard with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) long, three-wire cord,
exiting the right side of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an
extension cord. Extension cords are for temporary use only. If an extension cord
must be used, it must be UL/CSA certified, rated at 15A (1,875W), 125V maximum
with 14 AWG minimum and constructed of two current carrying conductors with
ground. A heavy duty extension cord with the shortest length possible for the
connection is recommended and must not be longer than 50 ft. (15.2 m).
Do not coil or cover the extension cord.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury
to persons.
Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part
of the electrical system which has been under water.
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in figure 1.
An adaptor as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type
plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
NOTE: Adaptors are NOT
for use in Canada.
