3.3.2

 

Electrical Power Connections 

Small wall plug-in convertor power sources must 
NOT be used to power the fireplace because of this 
fireplace’s higher power requirements.  Even under 
the best of conditions, it is only possible to power the 
system using a dedicated line back to the breaker 
box; do not connect to other equipment or outlets 
located in the room. 

 

The information below describes how the main 
electrical connections must be setup when using the 
“Flame Only” function or when using both the flame 
and heater functions (Figure 10). 

 

3.3.2.1

 

Connect: Flame Only (No Heater) 

A single 120 Volt, 20 Amp power connection, which 
is a dedicated line back to the breaker box (one run 
of “Solid Romex 12/2 CU NM-B W/G” cable 
recommended), is used to connect the main power 
directly to the fireplace when only the simulated 
flame is needed. 

3.3.2.2

 

Connect: Flame & Heater 

Two 120 Volt 20 Amp, dedicated lines back to the 
breaker box (2 runs of “Solid Romex 12/2 CU NM-B 

W/G” or 1 run of “Solid Romex 12/4 CU NM-B W/G” 
cable recommended). 

3.3.3

 

Water Supply 

3.3.3.1

 

Water purity 

A Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) system is required for 
commercial installations.  Boiler life is extended 
when the water supply contains low amounts of 
dissolved solids.  For residential applications, an RO 
system is not required, but recommended for 
extended boiler life. 

3.3.3.2

 

Water line connection 

When connecting to a fresh water supply, use a ¼” 
polyurethane water line with a John Guest fitting 
connected to an in-line ball valve. 

3.3.3.3

 

Manual fill option 

A water line is not mandatory for operation.  Manual 
fill is available and comes standard with each 
fireplace.  When the water supply container level 
gets low, a warning is shown on the display to 
remind the user to refill the container. 

Although not required, using a Reverse Osmosis 
(R.O.) or distilled water source to refill the water 
supply is highly recommended for extended life. 

3.3.4

 

Venting 

3.3.4.1

 

Optional venting requirements 

Please refer to Figure 11 for the location of the vent 
and the vent slider control.  Note that a 6” vent duct 
is recommended in installations in a room that has 
an area of less than 500 square feet. 

Note: 

When using the heater, the external vent 

should NOT be used.  This will prevent heat from 
escaping to the outside. 

To prepare the vent connection, remove the 
protective plate from the top of the fireplace and 
install the Vent Duct Flange in its place to use for the 
duct connection. 

A length of venting duct and the Vent Duct Flange, to 
which is attached, are included with the fireplace 

Accessory Kit

 (sold separately).  The length of this 

duct is 20 feet and is the MAXIMUM length of duct 
that can be used.  Using a longer length duct run will 
result in improper ventilation of steam during 
operation.  

WARNING – WIRE DIRECTLY TO A 

DEDICATED 20A BREAKER
