CAUTION:
Clearance for air circulation
beneath the fireplace insert
is provided by three (3) rubber feet (Figure 2).
Do not install the
fireplace insert directly on carpet or similar surfaces which
may restrict air circulation
. If installing the fireplace in a carpeted
area, place a one-piece, solid, flat surface under the fireplace
insert. Ensure that all three (3) of the insert’s feet rest securely on
this surface.
Existing Fireplace
1. Seal all drafts and vents with non-fibrous insulation materials to
prevent chimney debris from falling into the fireplace insert. Do not
install into an existing fireplace that is prone to leaks or dampness.
2. Cap the top of the chimney flue to prevent rain from entering.
3. Plan your electrical power supply (refer to NOTE 1).
4. The power cord can run along the front of the hearth to an outlet
near the fireplace (Figure 3).
!
NOTE 1:
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit
is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or fuse blows
