WARNING
!
RISK OF FIRE! The power cord must not be pinched
against a sharp edge. Secure cord to avoid tripping or snag-
ging to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or personal
injury. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord
with throw rugs, runners or the like. Arrange cord away from
traffi c areas and where it will not be tripped over.
RISK OF FIRE! To prevent a possible fi re, do not block
air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft
surfaces where openings may become blocked.
RISK OF FIRE! Do not blow or place insulation against
the fi replace.
This electric fi replace is tested and listed for use only with
the approved optional accessories. Use of optional acces-
sories not specifi cally tested for this electric fi replace could
void the warranty and/or result in a safety hazard.
If the information in these instructions is not followed
exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death. Do not store or use
gasoline or other fl ammable vapors in the vicinity of this or
any other fi replace.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture
and is away from drapes, furniture and high traffi c areas.
NOTE: Follow all national and local electrical codes. This
fi replace can be installed into either an existing fi replace
opening or as new construction / renovation.
EXISTING FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Thoroughly clean out the existing fi replace and hearth area.
Plan the power supply. If an existing grounded outlet is
near the fi replace, the power cord can run behind the fi re-
place. 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 fi replace for wiring, it is best
to hire a professional to do this step in order to prevent
personal injury. To reduce the risk of fi re, do not run the
power cord under rugs, carpets, etc. Arrange the power
supply cord away from high traffi c areas where it may pose
a tripping hazard.
