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

Unpacking the Unit
The unit comes packed with a protective
sheet covering the front of the unit. This
sheet is intended to prevent dust and
debris from entering during construction.

and the grate permanently fixed to the
firebox at the factory.
Carefully remove the packaging from
around the log set. Make sure the wires
from the log set are connected securely
to the grate box.
