ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

When using multiple fire features, the total allowable wattage is 300 Watts. A transformer should only be loaded to
80% of its capability.
For example: A 300 watt transformer should have no more than 240 watts attached to it. A single MagicFlame is 60
Watts maximum. No more than four MagicFlame features can be connected to a 300 watt transformer.
1. Disconnect all power to the circuit at the circuit breaker.
2. Install 1" electrical conduit and glue an elbow on top to prevent water filling the conduit.
3. Feed cord through the niche and conduit to the Junction Box or 12 VAC Transformer.
Note: Leave atleast 3 ft [0.9 m] of cable in the niche to allow for adjustments.
4. At the 12 VAC transformer or junction box.
Note: Leave atleast 6 inches [15.2 cm] of cord in the Junction Box or transformer to ease light installation or
niche inspection.
5. Cut off excess cord.
6. Carefully strip the outer cord jacket back 3 inches [7.6 cm], ensuring the
insulation on the inner conductors is not damaged.
7. Carefully strip both conductors 1/2-inch [1.3 cm], ensuring the copper wires
are not damaged.
8. Connect both conductors, and the ground wire, to the corresponding wires in
the junction box or 12 VAC transformer. See FIGURE 2.
