PREPARATION
When choosing a location for your new fireplace, follow the general instructions. Also, for best effect,
install the fireplace out of direct sunlight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15-Amp, 120-V, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the fireplace will
be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or
the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation. The unit comes standard with 6 ft / 1.8 m three-wire
cord, exiting from the rear of the fireplace. Avoid using an extension cord. If an extension cord must be
used, it must be a minimum 14 AWG, three wire with grounding type plug connector and rated not less
than 1875 watts. The cord shall not be more than 20 ft / 6 m in length.
Cold climate installation recommendation: When installing this unit against a non-
insulated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.
Position your completed mantel close to its final location. Make sure you can access the back of
the mantel as your Electric Fireplace Insert will be installed from the back.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws and the metal mounting brackets attached on either side
of the fireplaces center opening. Next unpack the Electric Fireplace Insert carefully. Position the insert
behind the fireplace with front facing the wood mantel. (Fig. 2)
With the help of an adult assistant, lift the Insert and gently slide it into the opening in the mantel until the
flange is flush against the inside of the mantel. Make sure insert is centered left and right in the opening.
Be careful when placing insert and adjusting, bottom of insert could scratch the finish of the base/hearth
of your fireplace. Re-attach the mounting brackets with the Phillips screwdriver, and supplied screws.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
With the help of an assistant, carefully lift completed unit and place it with the front facing out in the final
location you have chosen for your fireplace.
Make sure to secure the electrical cord before lifting or moving completed fireplace. When choosing a
final location, make sure you will have clear access to a grounded electrical outlet.
Read and follow all instructions in this manual before operating your new fireplace.
