PREPARATION

Planning Installation

Before you begin assembly, locate the instructions and hardware. Compare all parts with the Hardware Included and Package Contents lists. Be sure you have all the parts and can identify them. A helping hand is always good. Assemble your fireplace with an adult assistant if possible. Some pieces are heavy and will need to be held by a helper. Assembly time will take approximately 5-20 minutes.

Before assembly, use scissors to unwrap the parts from the packaging. Do not use a box cutter or exacto-knife, as you may cut into the heater pieces inside the box and damage the finish. Check for the hardware bag located inside the packaging, taped to the top of the box. Do not discard any pieces. Use an appropriate screwdriver to insert and tighten all screws.

CAUTION: This carton includes a GLASS panel! Always use extreme caution when handling glass. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage.

Electrical Connection

WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons.

WARNING: Do not use this fireplace if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the electrical system which has been under water.

A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required to operate this appliance. Preferably, the appliance 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 fireplace is in operation. The unit comes standard with a 6 ft (1.8 m) long 3-wire cord, exiting out the back of the fireplace. Plan the installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord must be used, it must be a minimum No. 14 AWG, 3-wire with grounding type plug and connector, and must be rated not less than 1875 watts. The extension cord shall not be more than 20 ft (6 m) in length.

Grounding Instructions

This heater is for use with 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in Figure 1. An adapter as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

NOTE: Adapters are NOT for use in Canada.
