The fireplace must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, Safety Standards For
Electrical Installations, or The National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA 70 in the US.
WARNING:
The electrical grounding instructions must be followed. The fan kit is equipped with a three-

properly grounded three-prong outlet. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
CAUTION:
When servicing controls, label all wires prior to disconnection. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
If any of the original wire as supplied with the appliance must be replaced, it must be replaced with 18
AWG wire with a temperature rating of 105°C
