UNPACKING AND TESTING APPLIANCE
Carefully remove the appliance from the box.
Prior to installing the appliance, test to make sure the appliance operates properly by
plugging the power supply cord into a conveniently located 120 Volt grounded outlet.
Test all aspects of its operation (manual switches, remote and heater) to make sure all
components operate correctly.
As with most electronic devices, your electric fireplace has been designed to operate at
temperatures between 5
℃
(41
℉
) and 3
5
℃
(95
℉
). During the cold winter months, allow the
fireplace to reach room temperature before turning it on.
GROUNDING APPLIANCE
This appliance is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown in (A). An adapter as
shown in (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to two-slot
receptacles. The green grounding lug 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.
To disconnect appliance, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE FIREPLACE
Plan where to place and frame the fireplace. Before installation consider the following:
1. The location of the fireplace must allow for wall and ceiling clearances.
2. Consider a location where the fireplace screen will not be exposed to direct sunlight from
windows or doors.
3.
A 15 ampere, 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit with proper ground must be available at the
location. A dedicated branch circuit should be provided to avoid circuit breakers to trip or
fuses to blow.
NOTE: There may be trace odor during the first few minutes of initial use. This is
harmless, normal, and will never occur again.
