This electric fireplace heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord features a three-prong
plug as shown at “A” in illustration below. An adapter, as shown at “C”, is available
for connecting a three-prong grounded type plug to a two-slotted wall receptacle.
The green grounding plug extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not
be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
A 15 AMP circuit is required to operate this heater. If the breaker trips when the
heater is used then you may need to move the heater to another location or unplug
other appliances that are on the same circuit. If you require an extension cord use
one that is rated at 1875 watts.
