Fireplace Installation

Site Selection

Review and consider all of the following conditions before installation:

• Dimensions of the unit: 34.1 in.

(867 mm) x 19.4 in. (494 mm)

• For surface installation, the unit requires a minimum of 2 wall studs in order to ensure secure installation.

For other installation methods, suitable framing is required.

There are three possible mounting methods:

• Surface mount (pg. 10);

• Partial Recessed (pg. 11);

• Flush mount (pg. 12), and any of these have the option of being hard-wired or plugged directly into the wall outlet.

CAUTION: Ensure installation does not allow fireplace to be in direct contact with building vapor barrier or insulation and meets all local building code.

!

NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

WARNING: Ensure the power cord is not installed so that it is pinched or against a sharp edge and ensure that the power cord is stored or secured to avoid tripping or snagging to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

1. Select a location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffic.

2. For ease of electrical hook up you may wish to locate the fireplace near an existing outlet (for plug-in convenience) (refer to NOTE 1).

3. Remove fireplace, front glass and hardware from the box and remove all packaging materials before installation.

4. Store the fireplace in a safe, dry and dust free location until you are ready to install the fireplace.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product
