WARNING
Electrical wiring must comply
with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fi re, electrical
shock and injury to individuals.

part of it has been underwater.
Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the
fi replace and replace any part of
the electrical system which has
been under water.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Before You Start
Check appliance for any concealed damage.
DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Complete the framing opening to the dimen-
sions specifi ed in
Figure 2
or assemble
mantel.
2. A dedicated circuit is not required. Use an
outlet that is protected by a ground fault
circuit interrupter where required by electri-
cal code.
3. Plug the fi replace into receptacle.
4. Slide the fi replace into place in framed/
fi nished opening or into mantel.
5. Perform a function test. See Operating
Instructions and Remote Control Operation
on
Page 6
.
WARNING
This appliance is mounted on
rubber feet to ensure adequate
air circulation beneath fi replace.
Do not block airfl ow at the bottom
air intakes.
IMPORTANT:
Cold climate installation recom-
mendation: when installing this fi replace against
a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is
mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.
WARNING
To prevent contact with sag-
ging or loose insulation, the
appliance must not be installed
against vapor barriers or
exposed insulation. Localized
overheating could occur and a
fi re could result. Insulation and
a vapor barrier should be placed
a minimum of 1
inches from the
appliance.
FINAL FINISHING
Materials such as brick and tile can be extended
down to the top of the fi replace. Do not extend
down, covering the outlet or glass enclosure
panel (optional kit).
There are a wide variety of “fi nished looks” for
these fi replaces, from formal wall decor with
elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling or
warm brick facings.
Hearth
An aesthetically pleasing fi replace hearth can
be installed, if desired.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
During the fi rst few initial uses of this heater,
there may be a release of a slight, harmless odor.
This odor is a normal occurrence caused by the
initial heating of the internal heating elements
and should not reoccur.
EXISTING FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean out the existing fi replace and
hearth area.
Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded
outlet is near the fi replace, the cord can run
along the front of the fi replace. If the cord is
not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded
extension cord minimum AWG No. 14 and rated
to a minimum of 1875 watts, may be used.
If you plan to cut or drill a hole in the existing
fi replace for wiring, it is best to hire a profes-
sional to do this step in order to prevent personal
injury. To reduce the risk of fi re, do not run the
power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange
the power supply cord away from high traffi c
areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
