PRE-INSTALLATION

Before You Start

Check appliance for any concealed damage.

Detailed Installation Steps

1. Complete the framing opening to the dimensions specified in Figure 2 or assemble mantel.

2. A dedicated circuit is not required. Use an outlet that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter where required by electrical code.

3. Plug the fireplace into receptacle.

4. Slide the fireplace into place in framed/ finished opening or into mantel.

5. Perform a function test. See Operating

Instructions and Remote Control Operation on Page 6.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE IS

MOUNTED ON RUBBER FEET TO EN-

SURE ADEQUATE AIR CIRCULATION

BENEATH FIREPLACE. DO NOT

BLOCK AIRFLOW AT THE BOTTOM

AIR INTAKES.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL WIRING

MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILD-

ING CODES AND OTHER APPLICABLE

REGULATIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND

INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS.

IMPORTANT: Cold climate installation recommendation: when installing this fireplace against a non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory that the outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS FIRE-

PLACE IF ANY PART OF IT HAS BEEN

UNDERWATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL

A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN

TO INSPECT THE FIREPLACE AND

REPLACE ANY PART OF THE ELEC-

TRICAL SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN

UNDER WATER.

FINAL FINISHING

Materials such as brick and tile can be extended down to the top of the fireplace. Do not extend down, covering the outlet or glass enclosure panel (optional kit).

There are a wide variety of “finished looks” for these fireplaces, from formal wall decor with elaborate mantels to rustic wood paneling or warm brick facings.

Mantel Cabinet

An optional mantel cabinet kit is available from your dealer (see Page 9). This option gives the appliance an attractive finished look.

Hearth

An aesthetically pleasing fireplace hearth can be installed, if desired.

BREAK-IN PERIOD:

During the first few initial uses of this heater, there may be a release of a slight, harmless odor. This odor is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the internal heating elements and should not reoccur.

EXISTING FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Thoroughly clean out the existing fireplace and hearth area.

Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is near the fireplace, the cord can run along the front of the fireplace. If the cord is not long enough to reach the outlet, a grounded extension cord minimum AWG No. 14 and rated to a minimum of 1875 watts, may be used.

If you plan to cut or drill a hole in the existing fireplace for wiring, it is best to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent personal injury. To reduce the risk of fire, do not run the power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power supply cord away from high traffic areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.

NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATION

1. Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 3 feet (or 0.9m) away from combustible materials such as curtains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.

2. Place the unit in selected location to see how it will look in the future.

3. Mark the desired location on the floor and store unit in a safe, dry and dust free location.

4. Frame in an opening leaving at least 1/4"

(6mm) around the edge of the unit. Any new wiring must be done in compliance with local and national codes and other applicable regulations in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other injuries. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you hire a professional to complete any such work.

INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE INSERT

1. Once the site has been prepared, the fireplace insert can be installed.

2. Make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.

3. Plug the fireplace into a 15-amp/120 volt, grounded outlet.

4. Push the fireplace insert so that the trim is against the finished mantel or wall surface.

WARNING: GRILLS ON THIS ELEC-

TRIC FIREPLACE CANNOT, IN ANY

WAY, BE COVERED AS IT MAY CRE-

ATE A FIRE HAZARD.

Notes: Power supply service must be complete prior to finishing, to avoid reconstruction.

Grills and air openings cannot be covered in any circumstances.
