D. Location
When choosing a location for your fireplace ensure that
the general rules are followed:
• For best results, install out of direct sunlight.
• Power supply service must be installed within
proximity of electric fireplace prior to finishing to
avoid reconstruction.
• See Figure 3.C for appliance dimensions and to
determine location of appliance installation.
E. Clearance to Combustibles
The SimpliFire Built-in Series is a zero clearance design,
with the exception of the top of the unit when hard-
wired for 240V. Any insulation and vapor barrier should
be placed a minimum of 2" from the top of the firebox.
Bend the supplied stand-offs to a vertical position to
maintain this clearance.

F. Electrical Supply Circuit Requirements
Plan the location of the appliance so that it will have ad-
equate electric power. A 15 AMP, 60Hz circuit is required
for both 120V and 240V installations. Additional appli-
ances on the same circuit as this appliance may exceed
the current rating of that circuit. A dedicated circuit is not
required, but is preferred to prevent circuit breaker trips
or fuse failure.
Reference Section 4.F for more complete detail on com-
pleting electrical installation.

G. Positioning of Top Stand-offs
When this unit is to be hard-wired for 240V, a clearance
of 2 inches is required on the top of the unit. Bend the
supplied stand-offs on the top of the unit to a vertical
position to maintain this clearance.
Confirm electrical connection switch is properly
positioned to reflect 120V or 240V, depending on wiring
choice.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Keep electrical cords, drapery,
furnishings or other combustibles at least 3 ft. (0.9 m)
from the front of the electric fireplace.
