Testing the Fireplace Prior to Installation

If you have any problems, please contact technical support at 800-215-1990 opt 2.
3-prong Outlet Installation
•
Only use this fireplace on a 120V AC, 15-Amp grounded circuit. Never overload the circuit. If this
fireplace trips the circuit breaker, unplug all other appliances on the same circuit before the next use. Avoid
plugging other appliances into the same circuit as this fireplace.
•
Always check the fireplace plug and connections before each use.
•
Never plug this fireplace into an outlet that is cracked or has any loose wires or connections. Plugging this
fireplace into a faulty outlet could result in the outlet overheating or catching fire.
•
Make sure this plug fits securely into the outlet. Faulty wall outlet connections or loose plugs can cause the
outlet to overheat. If the outlet or faceplate is hot, discontinue use immediately and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlet.
•
The power cord supplied with the heater has three prongs: two flat blades (live and neutral) and one round
pin (ground). If a 3-slot receptacle is not available, an adapter
MUST be used. The adapter MUST be
properly grounded to the outlet box (see figure below).
NOTE: Adapter NOT INCLUDED.
