INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
Review and consider all of the following conditions before installation:
Ensure installation does not allow the electric fireplace to be in direct contact with building vapor barrier or insulation and meets all local building code.
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 on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.
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. 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: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
1.
Select a location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.
2.
For ease of electrical hook up you may wish to locate the fireplace near an existing outlet (for plug-in convenience).
3.
Remove electric fireplace, front glass and hardware from the box and remove all packaging materials before installation.
4.
Store the fireplace in a safe, dry and dust free location until you are ready to install the fireplace.
Grounding Instructions:
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in Figure 1. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
WARNING: Do not attempt to wire your own new outlets or circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, alw ays use a licensed electrician.
