SAFETY INFORMATION

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. (1.8 m) long, three-wire cord,
exiting the right side of the fireplace. Always plug the unit into a wall outlet/receptacle.
An extension cord or re-locatable power tap, (outlet/power strip), should never be
used.
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 replace any part
of the electrical system which has been under water.
Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in figure 1.
An adaptor as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type
plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
