Electrical Connection

A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly
grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the fireplace
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 heater is in operation. The
unit comes standard with a 6 ft. (1828 mm) long three
wire cord, exiting the right side of the fireplace. Plan
the installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If
an extension cord is used, it must be minimum 14 AWG,
three-wire with grounding type plug and connector,
rated not less than 1875 Watts. This extension cord
shall not be more than 20 feet (508 mm) in length.
If permitted by local codes, a new electrical outlet may
be installed inside the frame construction.
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.
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 to replace any part of
the electrical system which has been
under water.
