Fireplace Installation

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: A dedicated, properly
fused 15 Amp circuit is
recommended, rated for 120V.
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: Construction
and 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, electric shock or injury to
persons, always use a licensed
electrician.
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.
