Fireplace Installation 

 WARNING: 

Ensure the power 

cord is not installed so that it is 

pinched or against a sharp edge 

and ensure that the power cord is 

stored or secured to avoid tripping 

or snagging to reduce the risk 

of fire, electric shock or injury to 

persons.

 WARNING: 

Construction 

and electrical outlet wiring must 

comply with local building codes 

and other applicable regulations 

to reduce the risk of fire, electric 

shock and injury to persons.

 WARNING: 

Do not attempt 

to wire your own new outlets or 

circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, 

electric shock or injury to persons, 

always use a licensed electrician.

 WARNING: 

To reduce the risk 

of fire, do not store or use gaso-

line or other flammable vapors or 

liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

!

NOTE: 

A 15amp, 120-volt cir-

cuit is required.  A dedicated cir-

cuit is preferred but not essential 

in all cases.  A dedicated circuit 

will be required if, after installa-

tion, the circuit breaker trips or 

the fuse blows on a regular basis 

when the heater is operating.  Ad-

ditional appliances on the same 

circuit may exceed the current 

rating of the circuit breaker.

 WARNING:  

The Convex In 

Stud fireplace is wall mount-

able and can be built in a wall 

space 16" (406 mm) over-cen-

ter between 2” (51 mm) x 4” 

(102 mm) wall studs.  Follow 

the installation instructions for 

either wall mount or built-in 

mounting; failure to do so may 

cause damage or injury.

 CAUTION:

 High temperature, 

risk of fire, keep electrical 

cords, drapery, furnishings, 

and other combustibles at 

least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the 

front of the heater.

Wall Mounting Instructions

1.  Leave the glass assembly un-

installed until step 10.

2.  Select a location for the fire-

place, preferably above an 

electrical outlet and there 

must be at least one wall stud 

behind for the fireplace to 

mount onto.  The bottom of 

the unit must be a minimum 

of 14" (356 mm) above the 

floor (mounting holes 29¾" 

(0.75 m) minimum above the 

floor) (Figure 2).
